Nakhon Ratchasima massacre (Thailand)
According to the media, the reason for the Massacre was the dispute between Jakrapanth and his commander over profits from business ownership. It all started when Jakrapanth had been talking to his commander about the property for several days.
This conversation turned into a fight and he took such a wrong step that it led to the loss of many innocent people. On February 8, 2020, he was stationed at the base of the Surathamphithak military camp with the commander and two other soldiers. He suddenly attacked the commanding officer and killed him and also killed the other soldiers.
After killing them, his mind was disturbed. He knew that there was a big crowd at the Terminal 21 Korat shopping mall due to Magha Puja, and he went straight to the mall stealing the Type 11 assault rifles, M60 machine gun, and military truck. A policeman and two civilians tried to stop him on the way but he also killed them and reached the mall.
He killed about 8 civilians and a policeman near the Buddhist temple on the way. As soon as he got to the mall, he started shooting indiscriminately.
