The suspect in the attack in Thailand has killed himself

The suspect in the attack on a day care center in Thailand that killed at least 31 people has been found dead.

The gunman, a former officer, is reported to have shot himself, while it is said that he also killed his wife and children.

According to reports, 23 children are among the victims.

Thai police had earlier on their Facebook page identified the perpetrator as 34-year-old Panya Kamrab.

They said he had fled the day care center in a white pickup truck.

The attacker, Panya Kamrab, was dismissed from the force last year.
