Kritsana Sola, whose nickname was "Captain", was a cheerful little boy who loved cartoons and dinosaurs. His life was one of dozens cut devastatingly short on Thursday, when a man armed with two guns and a knife stormed a Thai daycare centre.
The community of Uthai Sawan has been left reeling in the aftermath of the shocking attack on the Child Development Centre in Nong Bua Lamphu province.
Grieving parents gathered near the centre after the attack, some openly weeping as mourners offered white roses and prayers during a flower-laying ceremony.
