Thai mall shooting victim’s mother bids emotional farewell at cremation

Moe Myint’s employer, Aksorn Chantarojvanich, who attended the funeral, said she would provide the family 10,000 baht (US$270) a month, matching the remittances Moe Myint had sent home.

Thai Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong vowed at the ceremony: “We will ensure fair processes, provide support to the victims, and handle the affairs of the deceased’s family with utmost care.”

The father of the teenage suspect, in a letter released by the government on Friday, said his family would fully cooperate with the authorities.

“We offer our deepest apologies to the victims,” the father wrote. “My family and I would like to humbly ask for forgiveness and extend our profound apologies.”
