Meanwhile, "L" revealed that the reason for surrendering was seeing many schoolchildren from various schools having to stop attending classes, including his own relatives, and he did not expect the situation to cause so much trouble, so he decided to surrender.
Initially, he did not surrender because he was unsure which police unit was involved and what they were like, but he was confident they were from Pathum Thani. He admitted to fleeing. The problem began from an ongoing argument with his wife lasting half a month. Regarding the shooting at the rescue vehicle, it occurred during a quarrel between the couple, and the rescue team approached, opened the vehicle window, and said, "Let’s talk this over calmly." The shooting happened because the rescue team thought his wife had called them.
