Treating Monkey as a Donkey proves fatal for owner.

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

Monkey had its day when it fired the missile from the top of a tree after becoming frustrated with his tiring labour.

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 the cruel owner refused to let him rest, beating him if he refused to climb trees.

It is believed that the monkey eventually snapped, and targeted his owner from a high branch with a coconut.

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