Increasingly violent youth a cause for worry in Thailand

Bangkok: For the bereaved survivors, the killing of the beloved head of the family in an alleged drunken frenzy by some Bangkok youths has brought unbearable pain, shattered dreams, and worries of a grim future.

“My husband was a good man and a family leader. Despite his disability, he worked hard and did everything to earn money for our family. He often told me he wanted to see our two children able to have higher education... He never had a fight with anyone, just worked for money and came back to us when he had days off. I have no idea what to do without him now,” lamented widow Rungnapa Saeiew.
