Thai police arrest gang behind family killing


BANGKOK: Thai police announced that they have arrested all those who took part in the brutal mass slaying of a family in the country’s south earlier this week, a massacre that caused widespread revulsion.

Detectives say a gang of seven men wearing camouflage outfits entered a village chief’s house in the southern province of Krabi on Monday, casually executing him and seven other members of his family, including three children, with single shots to the head. Three others were shot but survived, including a woman who played dead after the bullet passed through her ear and was able to give vital clues.
