How did the attack happen?
The tragedy happened in Uthai Sawan, a small town in the province of Nong Bua Lamphu, which is located 500 kilometers from Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. Around lunchtime, the ex-policeman arrived excitedly at his son's school. Including running over some employees on their arrival.
As soon as he got out of the car, the man shot some of the team members who were at the scene. Then he broke into a room where the children were resting. After looking around and not finding his son, he started stabbing the closest children and teachers. About 12 people were hospitalized. The number includes children and adults.
After fleeing the crime scene, he went home.
Upon finding his wife and son, he killed them both and ended his own life. “He was already very stressed. When he couldn’t find his son, he started shooting,” reported the local police spokesman.
Who is the criminal?
The man was identified as Panya Khamrab, a police officer who was expelled from the force a year ago for drug abuse. It was also confirmed that, hours before, the man was in the local court to respond to the lawsuit filed against him precisely for this use and possession of narcotics.
According to the investigators of the case, they still cannot say whether Panya was under the influence of any substance at the time she committed the crime. They also declared that the weapon used in the crime was obtained illegally.
Repercussion of the case in Thailand
The country is not used to seeing this type of tragedy happen in its lands. The Prime Minister of Thailand, Prayuth Chan-Ocha, gave a statement on the case: “I ordered the chief of police to move immediately to the scene to take the necessary measures, and all parties involved to provide immediate relief to all persons affected”.
