Woman who 'seduced and blackmailed Buddhist monks' caught by Thai police
The woman, aged in her 30s, is accused by police in Thailand of enticing celibate Buddhist monks into sexual relationships before demanding hush money from them A woman who allegedly 'seduced and blackmailed' a string of Buddhist monks has been arrested by police in Thailand. The Southeast Asian nation has been rocked in recent weeks by an emerging sex scandal involving a number of senior monks, with the behaviour falling foul of a strict celibacy rule in place for ordained members of the faith. At least nine abbots and senior monks involved have been disrobed and cast out of the monkhood, the Royal Thai Police Central Investigation Bureau said. On Tuesday, Wilawan Emsawat, in her mid-30s, was arrested at her home in Nonthaburi province north of Bangkok. She is accused of enticing Buddhist monks into sexual relationships, before pressuring them into making large payments to cover up their intimacy. Charges against her include extortion, money laundering and receiving stolen goods. Police said they traced money transferred to her by a senior monk from a bank account belonging to his temple in northern Thailand. Wilawan has not made a statement since her arrest, and it is unclear if she has legal representation. Speaking to local media before her arrest, she acknowledged a relationship with one monk and said she had given him money. Police said Wilawan deliberately targeted senior monks for financial gain, and said they found several monks had transferred large amounts of money after she initiated romantic relationships with them. Her bank accounts received around 385 million baht (£8.8 million) in the past three years, but most of the funds were spent on online gambling websites, police said. Jaroonkiat Pankaew, deputy commissioner of Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau, said the investigation began last month after an abbot of a famous temple in Bangkok abruptly left the monkhood. The intelligence service - equivalent to the the UK's National Crime Agency or US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) - has since set up a Facebook page for people to report misbehaving monks Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai has meanwhile ordered authorities to review and consider tightening existing laws related to monks and temples to restore faith in Buddhism, government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub said yesterday. He added: "We will investigate monks across the country. I believe that the ripple effects of this investigation will lead to a lot of changes."

Seven officers investigated after man 'in crisis' dies during Boston arrest
Seven police officers are being investigated after a man they restrained outside of a Boston-area fish market died. The officers handcuffed Francis Gigliotti, 43, near Bradford Seafood restaurant in Havervill on Friday night. Gigliotti was captured on CCTV walking onto the middle of White Street and into traffic. The footage obtained by NBC10 Boston showed Gigliotti appearing to fall while exiting a store and hitting his head on a car. The restaurant owner said Gigliotti was acting out of control, but some witnesses who recorded the incident on their cell phones said the officers restraining him were using too much force. Gigliotti became unresponsive during the scuffle and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His fiancée, Michele Rooney, said he was having a mental health crisis and was not carrying any weapons. 'Eyewitnesses say more than six officers restrained him—piling on top of him—while he screamed out for help and ultimately stopped breathing,' Rooney wrote in a GoFundMe page for Gigliotti's funeral expenses. 'I am completely devastated. Francis should still be here.' Rooney told NBC10 that witnesses who were videotaping before she arrived said that Gigliotti was hollering, 'Help, help, get off of me, help me, help me.' 'They had their knee on his neck and they were sitting on him. They were like, it was like a giant pig pile on top of him,' Rooney said of the officers. 'He had a heart of gold, he would never hurt anybody, he was screaming for help and their way of helping him is killing him by applying pressure on him?' On Monday, Haverhill police Chief Robert Pistone Jr announced that the seven officers were put on paid administrative leave as the Essex County District Attorney's Office reviews the incident. The officers were not wearing body cameras, as the police department does not have them, according to Mayor Melinda Barrett. Since the 1990s, the US Justice Department has told officers to roll suspects off their stomachs when they are handcuffed to avoid asphyxia, which can lead to suffocation and death. Rooney said that the medical examiner told her it could take up to 60 days to determine Gigliotti's cause of death. Over the weekend, a vigil was held for Gigliotti and some protesters rallied outside the police department demanding answers. Anyone with videos or photos from the incident is urged to share them with the district attorney's office. The GoFundMe page had raised more than $5,200 as of Tuesday evening. More Trending 'We are now left to carry not only the pain of his loss,' Rooney wrote, 'But the burden of funeral costs and the legal fight for justice in his name.' Gigliotti was from Haverhill, a suburb about 35 miles north of Boston. He was the co-founder of Teddy Bear Roofing, according to a Facebook post by the company. 'We started this business together less than a month ago, after working side-by-side for the last four years. What we built was more than a company. It was a dream. And it was finally starting to take shape,' states the post. 'Francis was kind, hardworking, loyal, and full of life. He had so much ahead of him, and he didn't deserve this. None of this is okay.'

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE friends of a Scottish tourist who died after a horror balcony fall in Ibiza have slammed a hotel for their 'inhumane' handling of the tragedy. Evan Thomson, from Aberdeen, tragically lost his life after falling from the sixth floor of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in the island's San Antonio on Monday July 7. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Evan Thomson died after falling from a sixth floor balcony Credit: Facebook 4 He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene Credit: Facebook 4 His pals have since blasted the Ibiza Rocks Hotel for their response to the tragedy Credit: Darren Fletcher 4 They claim the hotel almost acted as if Evan's death never happened Credit: Darren Fletcher He was on holiday with pals and had recently celebrated his 26th birthday last month. The young Scot was discovered by his friends around 6am who raised the alarm. Medics were called to the hotel but tragically Evan was pronounced dead at the scene. But his friends have now blasted hotel staff for their response to the tragedy, claiming they almost acted as if nothing had happened after Evan's death. They claimed to the Press and Journal staff were washing the area where Evan was found less than two hours after his death and were still advertising events for that day on social media. Pal Blair Robertson, 25, said they were kept separate from other guests in the manager's office after finding their friend and were left without answers. But he said 90 minutes after they were told about their friend's death they were allowed back to their room to pack their bags before being moved to another hotel. He told the P&J: 'We heard the jet washes from the ground cleaning the area where Evan died and it had only been 90 minutes or so since he was found. 'That was the worst thing for us to hear – how fast they tried to get things back to normal. 'They took us out of the hotel at around 9am and put us in a new hotel down the road. Teenage motorbike rider, 14, dies in horror crash with car as cops launch probe 'It was like they wanted to get back to business as usual as soon as possible. 'It was just a very traumatic experience. 'They just wanted us out – and to start the party again. It was a disregard of life. 'It was hard hearing the cleaners coming into the room in the morning, as though nothing had happened.' Evan's other friend James Shand continued the criticism of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, claiming they viewed Evan's death from a 'business perspective' after seeing events for that day advertised on social media. "They just wanted us out – and to start the party again. It was a disregard of life." Blair Robertson He said: 'Seeing them post 'are you all ready for the next event?' within hours of it happening was sickening. 'They looked at Evan's death from a business perspective. They just preferred that people wouldn't find out, so it wouldn't ruin the party. 'Even if that post was an oversight, they've had a week to remove it and haven't. 'How could they do that – no less than five hours after Evan died?' Other fears have been raised about safety at the hotel after the tragedy. One of the main concerns Evan's friends and loved ones have is about the balcony wall only being 3ft high, and worry it was not enough to stop 6'3 Evan from falling to his death, as it only came up to his hip. In April this year, a 19-year-old Italian tourist died after falling from the fourth floor of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel after trying to reach her room from a balcony via a shared area. "They looked at Evan's death from a business perspective. They just preferred that people wouldn't find out, so it wouldn't ruin the party." James Shand Ibiza Rocks has been approached for comment in response to the concerns raised by Evan's friends. In a previous statement, the hotel said: 'This is a truly tragic and extremely sad situation. 'Our senior management team onsite did everything possible to help the police with their investigation into events leading up to Evan's death, and to provide constant support from our customer services manager to Evan's friends. 'That has included them having 24-hour access to our senior manager for any help or questions and giving them permission to pass on her mobile number to Evan's family should they wish to call us direct. 'They were very appreciative of all the help and support at such a difficult time. 'We are deeply saddened by Evan's death and our thoughts continue to be with his family and friends at this truly difficult time.' The Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting the family of a British national who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities." Spain's Guardia Civil has been approached for comment.
