Relatives of 29 people killed by a vicious soldier in Thailand held a Buddhist prayer ceremony on Monday as questions raised about how and why the shooting never happened. Before that happened.
With photos of their relatives and tears, the families of the victims went to the cemetery in Nakhon Ratchasima to take the coffin home.
The killer started shooting Saturday afternoon with a rifle stolen from a warehouse, where he shot and killed 22-year-old Mehta Lertsiri, a security guard.
Flowers and condolences were left outside the bullet-riddled marketplace, where a siege began on Saturday night.
The automatic-armed killers spent 17 hours negotiating with police, while hundreds of shoppers plowed through toilets, lockers and under desks.
The gunman, Jakrapanth Thomma, was shot dead by a commando unit on Sunday morning, ending an attack that left 29 dead and many injured.
Survivors described hiding around the mall as they tracked down the gunman's movements as told by friends outside, and short security camera videos were shared via Group Mail.
As the province and the country mourn, there are growing questions as to why the gunman continued firing because of private debt with senior officials and whether he could steal weapons, including M60 machine guns and ammunition. How else?
