There are reports coming in that state
King Rathun may have committed suicide. He was holed up in the terminal building at
Rathun City Airport with an angry mob outside. The mob was waiting for army units to come from the capital before storming the building and seizing Rathun and his final handful of supporters.
The terminal building exploded suddenly and was reduced to rubble. It is thought Rathun blew himself and his fanatical supporters up rather than face the fury of the mob.
A UNP team is now negotiating with the leaders of the rebellion. The head of the army has been put in temporary charge.
