PHNOM PENH — A Buddhist monk in Cambodia burned himself to death as a sacrifice to Buddha, police said Tuesday.
The 20-year-old monk, Yin Keo, was at a pagoda on top of a mountain when he doused himself with five liters of petrol Saturday and set fire to himself, Battambang province deputy police chief So Sam An said.
“The monk completely believed in religion — he sat cross-legged and poured gas over himself and burned to death in order to sacrifice his body to Buddha,” So Sam An told Agence France-Presse.
