As the title of this video from cromwellbad suggests, it relates to the brutal murder of King Ananda Mahidol, which to this day remains a "mystery". What is known is that Ananda did not commit suicide as was first claimed, likewise those found guilty at the botched murder trial, were completely innocent.
As a young man, Ananda and his brother Bhumibol, were both keen gun enthusiast, and often used the gardens around the palace for target practice. The murder weapon, a Colt 45 which was neatly placed in Ananda's lifeless hand, didn't belong to either of the two brothers.
Ananda's brother, Bhumibol Adulyadej, was crowned Rama IX the very same day as his brother's death (9th June 1946). Just how long does it take to organise a coronation ceremony anyway? It's not exactly a five minute job... Oops! Did anyone say lese majeste?
