Thailand mourns ‘harrowing’ mass killing of children

Na Klang, Thailand | Thai government buildings flew flags at half-mast on Friday to mourn the death of more than 30 people, including 23 children, after a former police officer burst into a daycare centre in a knife and gun rampage that left the nation shocked and seeking answers.

Most of the children who died at the daycare centre in Uthai Sawan, a town 500 kilometres north-east of Bangkok, on Thursday were stabbed to death, police said, marking one of the worst child death tolls in a massacre by a single killer in recent history. At least 36 people were murdered.
