BANGKOK, Thailand -- A court on Thursday (Dec. 12) indicted former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for alleged murders, but his deputy did not arrive for the same indictment because he was whipping up a right-wing "people's revolution" which cut off the prime minister's electricity and water to force her resignation.

The murder charges date back to 2010 and are echoing in Bangkok's current month-long "insurrection" which is fueled mostly by urban-based royalists and military officers, plus middle and upper classes who favor dictatorial, appointed officials instead of popularly elected politicians.

In the latest twist, a man standing in the street on Thursday (Dec. 12) afternoon used a lengthy pole to disconnect overhead electric cables leading to Interim Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's now-vacant Government House office, while a curious crowd watched.

Others cut the water supply and some barbed wire protecting the building.

Ms. Yingluck refuses to resign and now uses police and army buildings as her office.
