A quiet ceremony has been attended by about 200 people in a small town in northeastern Thailand marking the one-year anniversary of the country's deadliest mass killing. Attendees at Friday’s remembrance ceremony donned colorful traditional clothes for Buddhist religious rites. On Oct. 6, 2022, a fired police sergeant killed 36 people, including two dozen toddlers at a day care center in Uthai Sawan town. The shocking gun and knife attack spurred calls for tighter gun controls. Thailand has one of the highest rates of gun ownership and gun-related deaths in Asia. The calls for change faded with time, but were dramatically revived this week when a teenager with a handgun shot dead two people and wounded five others in an upscale mall in the capital, Bangkok.

Local officials said they did not want to call it a memorial service in order to spare the feelings of the residents who are still shaken by the tragedy. Many of them shed tears as they chanted the prayers. Thongkul Phupadhin, the grandmother of a 4-year-old girl slain in the attack, wept while setting down a offering tray with french fries, popcorn, rice crackers, cupcakes, grilled chicken and sweet drinks. She said it’s still hard for her to come back to see the place.
The man who carried out the massacre was Panya Kamrap, a 34-year-old police officer fired a year earlier for drug use. His rampage began at the day care center, and ended when he returned home, where he killed his wife and child before taking his own life.
