NONG BUA LAMPHU: It was nap time at the Uthai Sawan Child Development Centre and 24 children aged 2 to 5 years were bedded down at evenly spaced spots on the wood-panelled floor.
All seemed calm until an ex-cop armed with a gun and knife stormed in, with on duty staff unable to stop him. The former police sergeant shot at the door of the room where the children slept and killed 22 of them, mostly with a knife, in a rampage that resulted in one of the worst massacres of children by a single killer in recent history.
