Monkey 'kills cruel owner with coconut thrown from tree'

[Beacool]

A monkey who was forced to climb palm trees by his owner took revenge by killing him with a coconut.

The animal threw the missile from the top of a tree after becoming frustrated with his tiring labour, according to reports.

Leilit Janchoom, 48, had employed the monkey to pick coconuts which he could then sell for around 4p each.

The animal – named Brother Kwan – found the work tedious and strenuous but Mr Janchoom refused to let him rest, dishing out beatings if he refused to climb trees.

It is believed that the monkey eventually snapped, and targeted his owner from a high branch with one of the hard-skinned fruits.

Mr Janchoom, from the province of Nakorn Sri Thammarat in Thailand, died on the spot after being struck by the coconut, according to reports in a local newspaper.

Lots of aggressive monkeys and chimps lately in the news. I think that they are planning to revolt and take over the world. It's the prelude to the Planet of the Apes.........

6. Umm, how do they know that he wasn't just tossing down a coconut and hit him by accident?

Or for that matter that the man wasn't tossing coconuts up at the monkey who refused to come down and one fell back down and struck him in the head?

Poor fellow could be getting a bum rap here.

8. The human species has failed miserably and proved to be NOT so intelligent.

Perhaps the monkeys and chimps are plotting a revolution; I'm certain they would do a better job than their human counterparts.. I still support the monkey's second amendment rights to keep and bear coconuts.
