The body of Mongsowe U Chak, an ederly buddhist of 75 years, was found at the isolated temple where he lived alone in Naikkhangchhari village, about 338 kilometers (211 miles) southeast of Dhaka. It is not know the motive of the killing and no one had been arrested.

The Muslim-majority nation of 160 million people has seen a surge in violent attacks over the past few months in which liberal activists, members of minority Muslim sects and other religious groups have been targeted by Islamist extremists.

Islamic State has claimed responsibility for some of the killings although the government denies the Sunni militant group has a presence in the country, saying homegrown extremists are behind the attacks.

Violence is everywhere even monks can't escape them. Sad. RIP.

So they just saw him and jumped him because he's from a different religion? It's not like Buddhism is a foreign concept to Bangladesh.
Where is the world going, I wonder?...RIP
