Thai King Maha Vajiralongkorn and Queen Suthida visited those injured in the Thailand day care attack and their relatives in northeastern Nong Bua Lamphu and neighboring Udon Thani provinces, October 7, 2022.

Grief-stricken relatives sobbed and clutched toys at a children's day care center Friday, a day after a former policeman killed 36 people, most of them young children, in a knife and gun rampage that has horrified Thailand.

Government buildings flew flags at half staff to mourn victims - 23 of them children - of the carnage in Uthai Sawan, a town 500 kilometers northeast of Bangkok, the capital of the largely Buddhist country.

Police identified the attacker as Panya Khamrap, 34, a former police sergeant who had been discharged over drug allegations and who was facing trial on a drugs charge.
