BANGKOK – The death toll from last week’s shooting at Siam Paragon Mall in Bangkok rose to three on Friday, when a 30-year-old Thai victim reportedly succumbed to her wounds.

The news was shared by a social media user on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The post said Ms Penpiwan Mitthampitak died around 2am in a hospital.

Ms Penpiwan’s mother expressed gratitude for the condolences and visits by well-wishers to her daughter’s bedside over the past 10 days, the post added.

She also extended thanks to government officials, Siam Paragon executives, members of the Korean boy band Got7 and LOVEiS Entertainment for their support. Ms Penpiwan was a fan of the boy band and Thai singer Tanont Chumroen.

The deadly shooting unfolded on Oct 3, when a 14-year-old boy armed with a modified blank gun began firing at shoppers in the upscale Bangkok mall.

Two victims, a Chinese tourist and a Myanmar worker, were killed on the spot. Five others – a Chinese tourist, a Lao national and three Thais – were injured.

The 14-year-old has been charged with premeditated murder, said Police Major-General Nakharin Sukhonthawit, commander of Metropolitan Police Division 6.

The police have also seized over 2,000 unregistered guns in a crackdown on illegal weapons following the deadly shooting.

The teenage gunman reportedly purchased the gun online. THE NATION/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
