Prasitthichai Khaokaew, the suspect in the Lopburi gold-shop robbery, claims he only intended to "shoot to frighten" people, not to kill, attributing some fatal shots to accidents like a tangled glove or ricochet.
He admitted to planning the robbery for a few days due to "personal problems" and used a silencer, purchased online, to avoid loud noises.
The suspect expressed regret for the victims, particularly the two-year-old child, Titan, stating he felt remorse after seeing news reports, despite attempting to resume a normal life.
Prasitthichai revealed he considered surrendering but delayed it until after January 24 to complete a school assignment.
