I would note that the current issue of the Phnom Penh Post reports
that two monks were part of a team of four men who gang-raped and then
decapitated a woman in Cambodia.

The same page of the paper reports that the scholar Michael Vickery
publicly made the statement "I love everybody" while at a bar
--supposedly an unexpected contrast to his reputation as a curmudgeon.

[Full text of the story:]
NOVEMBER 3: Two monks were among four men arrested for the rape and
murder of a woman three days earlier in Char village, Kampong Speu
province. Police said the two monks, Lai Ra, 18, and Phoeun Vannak,
20, along with two other arrested people, Phon Samon, 20, and San
Sokmin, 17, raped Tun Koun, 41, then decapitated her.
