I don't know what a "Chief Monk" is but I do know what a "Head Abbot" is. Anyways, sounds to me like the grandson and his buddy hahave a little drug problem and when "Granddad" didn't want to fork out any money the boys went berserker on him. That's usually how it goes down in situations like this.
