The coffins of several young victims of the deadliest mass shooting in Thailand's history, were laid out on funeral pyres in Buddhist temples in a small town in the north east of the country on Tuesday (11/10/2022).
Last Thursday's brutal gun and and knife attack on the young children's development center in Uthai Sawan, left 36 people dead including 24 young children.
Phra Kru Adisal Kijjanuwat abbot of the rat samakee temple around 3 kilometers from the scene of the bloodshed said 19 victims will be cremated in a group ceremony on Tuesday (11/10/2022), bringing an end to a three day morning ceremony for the families.
He said the bodies would be cremated at the same time on charcoal-fueled open-air pyres to spare the families from having to wait long hours for successive ceremonies to be completed.
