6 bodies found inside temple in central Bangkok

Six bodies were found inside the Pathumwanaram Temple due to violent clashes yesterday night, acting government spokesman Panithan Wattanayakorn said this morning.

Addressing the nation in a television program at about 11:00 am local time, Panithan updated the overall situation, including the loss of lives.

In a related development, the website by the Nation newspaper reported that at 10:00 am, officials retrieved the six bodies from inside the temple, while one of the them was a woman.

The Pathumwanaram Temple, which is the shelter for the anti- government protestors, especially children, the elderly, and women, is located next to the Rajprasong Intersection in central Bangkok.

Before the anti-government protestors were dispersed yesterday afternoon, the Rajprasong Intersection had been occupied by the "red-shirts" protestors since early April.
