A teenage vocational college student wearing his school uniform was shot dead in Dusit district on Monday morning. Witnesses said his four attackers fled on motorcycles.
The murder occurred in front of Kornkaew Montessori School. The victim was 16 years old and a second-year student at Dusit Technical College, which is on the same road.
The student was shot in his chest and died on the spot. Police found a pen gun at the scene.
The victim's friends said he was attacked by four men on two motorcycles without licence plates. They fled along Rama V Road.
