Leader of feces-eating cult arrested after 11 lifeless our bodies found during raid

Thai police raided the compound of a suspected cult leader in Chaiyaphum province on Sunday, discovering no less than 11 our bodies during the search. Native authorities had been capable of raid the compound after the group allegedly violated land encroachment laws and broke Covid-19 restriction legal guidelines.

Legislation enforcement had already been made conscious of the group after allegations have been shared that the group had been consuming the bodily fluids of its leader. After police made their way onto the camp grounds, police then found the stays of 11 our bodies in coffins.

Nevertheless, the group was solely able to present loss of life certificates belonging to five of the 11 of the deceased. Police have ordered autopsies to be conducted to establish the causes of dying of the our bodies.

The suspected chief of the group has been detained for questioning, however earlier than the arrest a lot of his followers tried to stop police from arresting the elderly man in the course of the raid. 

The unusual group was known within the area to conduct themselves in a religious-like manner, the place devotees of the “father,” Thawee Nanra, 75, would do nearly anything for the person. Some say he would force his followers to drink his urine, eat his feces, and eat filth with the intention to heal physical illnesses.

Cult-like teams usually are not uncommon in Thailand. In 2019, a ‘rape cult’ on Koh Phangan was revelaed the place female students say they had been promised non secular practice only to be coerced into sex or raped by its founder. Final year, an aged monk decapitated himself with a selfmade machine in an attempt to reincarnate as the next being. His followers helped him construct the contraption and helped him commit suicide. More extensively recognized is the Dhammakaya group, a massively rich Buddhist sect that critics and former followers name a cult.

The incident has shortly gone viral on social media, with netizens sharing their disgust towards the cult’s practices of consuming human waste. The Thai-language hashtag #พระบิดา (#Father) saw over 141,000 mentions as of Monday’s afternoon.

A snippet from tv reveals a woman, who seems to be a member of the cult, saying that she did not detect any disagreeable odor while consuming the human waste.  

“There isn’t even an odor,” the woman remarked. “Only those with a tainted mind could odor it.”

"ไม่มีกลิ่นหรอกค่ะ มีแต่คนจิตไม่ดีเท่านั้นเเหละค่ะที่จะได้กลิ่น"

One twitter user identified that the one who exposed this cult was Mor Pla, a celeb volunteer who has helped uncover suspicious non secular circumstances, slightly than local authorities. 

“It was presupposed to be the police that raided this cult within the first place, isn’t it?,” one Twitter user questioned.

ที่งงคือทำไมถึงต้องเป็นหมอปลาที่เป็นคนประสานหรือนำสังคมไปเจอเรื่องอะไรแบบนี้ ทั้งที่คนที่ควรจะเป็นบุกไปจับ ไปเจอ หรือเปิดเผยมันควรเป็น ตร. หรือ จนท. ของรัฐ ไม่ใช่หรอ ทำไมถึงปล่อยให้มีเรื่องขนาดนี้เกิดขึ้น สุดจริงบ้านนี้เมืองนี้ #พระบิดา

A number of tweets describe what occurred as a failure of Thailand’s education system, notably in the space of hygiene. “I can’t bear the considered more than half of the nation being like this,” one other Twitter person wrote.
Thai Enquirer attempted to achieve native police in Chaiyaphum for remark, however they didn't reply by the time of publishing.

Authorities are still looking the group’s compound for different suspicious materials. That is an ongoing story and we could have extra particulars within the coming days.
