Pol Maj Gen Charoonkiat provided an update yesterday on the investigation into the alleged embezzlement of temple donations by former abbot Phra Alongkot Phoolmook and Seksan Sapsubbsakul, widely known as “Mor Bee’, a self-claimed spiritual medium who played a prominent role in the temple's fundraising activities.

He said that more witnesses have come forward with information, adding that investigators already have a significant amount of evidence but are seeking additional financial records.
