A forensic police officer on Wednesday examines a bullet hole allegedly left by Cpl. Hassapol Soprakon’s assault rifle at Batutamong Police Station.

 

YALA — A policeman accused of a shooting rampage that killed two officers and wounded 16 others in the southern border province of Yala is now behind bars and awaiting trial, police said Monday.

 

Cpl. Hassapol Soprakon surrendered Friday, three days after he allegedly opened fire with an assault rifle on fellow police officers at the Batutamong Police Station. Hassapol, 28, blamed the killings on stress due to his hardship post in the restive province, according to investigator Bancha Sangkhapet.
