The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the death sentence for gold shop-robber Prasittichai Khaokaeo, a former primary school director in Sing Buri who shot dead three people, one a child, and wounded four others during a holdup at a Lop Buri mall in 2020.
On Jan 9, 2020, Prasittichai, armed with a 9mm handgun, stormed into Robinson department store in Muang district and killed a security guard, a two-year-old boy walking with his mother, and an employee of Aurora gold shop. He also shot and wounded four other people.
Prasittichai stole gold necklaces, worth 664,470 baht in total. The Supreme Court yesterday ruled there was no reason he should be granted a reprieve for the cold-blooded crimes he had committed.
