BANGKOK: A Thai court on Friday sentenced four men to life imprisonment over the death of three people, including two children, in a grenade attack in Bangkok last year during anti-government protests.

The February 2014 explosion in a bustling downtown shopping district shocked the kingdom with its young victims -- a brother and sister, aged four and six -- during nearly seven months of often violent protests against then premier Yingluck Shinawatra’s administration.
