A man was killed after being impaled on a Buddha statue following a meth-fuelled rampage in a temple.
The 49-year-old man assaulted a monk and smashed holy statues.
The man, who was allegedly under the influence of drugs, rampaged through the holy site at the end of February.

Police on the scene were concerned that he may be armed and initially waited outside the temple doors.
The man, named as Ek, locked all the doors and windows and started smashing up religious statues in the hall.
However, the sound of destruction soon fell eerily silent inside the temple.
The police forced their way into the main hall and saw the man lying in a pool of blood.

A Buddha statue had pierced his chest and lungs at the temple in Chon Buri Province, Thailand.
Following a preliminary investigation, it was revealed that he climbed up the large Buddha statue in the temple but apparently fell while trying to vandalise it.
The man then plummeted on the sharp end of the smaller Buddha statue situated below it, killing him at the scene.

According to local reports, the assaulted monk, named Best, admitted to the police that he had taken meth with Ek earlier that day.
Apparently, under the influence, Ek hit the monk before running into the temple.
Best has since left the monkhood for his misconduct.
