Police detain 2 men over RCA Songkran shooting in Bangkok

 

 

Two men have been arrested for allegedly committing the shooting at the busy RCA entertainment venue in Bangkok during a Songkran celebration on Sunday. Four people were injured by gunfire and four others were injured trying to flee the scene.

 

Today at 3pm, police escorted the two suspects – 41 year old Natthanon and 19 year old Natthaphon – from Makkasan Police Station to Ratchada Criminal Court on charges of joint physical harm, violating the Firearms Act by carrying a firearm into public without permission and firing a gun in a public place.

 

Police asked the court not to grant bail to the two suspects for fear that they will attempt to flee if temporarily released while awaiting trial.
