A three-year-old escaped an almost certain death on Thursday as a killer stalked her nursery in one of the world's worst child massacres.
Little Nong Am was fast asleep with a blanket covering her body when disgraced former cop Panya Khamrab, 34, stormed the school, leaving the lifeless bodies of 37 children and teachers in his wake.
As her classmates were slaughtered, the three-year-old managed to survive as the crazed attacker failed to notice the little girl beneath a blanket in a deep slumber at the day care centre in Thailand.
