The Supreme Court on Wednesday 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 fitted with a sound suppressor, stormed into Robinson Department Store in Muang district, Lop Buri, and shot dead three people - a security guard, a two-year-old boy walking with his mother, and a woman employee of Aurora gold shop. He also shot and wounded four other people.
