Before the incident, she thought it would take a long time to draw the conscription card, so she decided to use the restroom.

Friends had already rushed him to the hospital.
Chaveewan added that she had been worried because many youths from different villages gathered for conscription, some with existing conflicts. She tried to stay close to her son, and older youths were watching over them. She never expected the perpetrator to commit such a brazen act, especially as over 100 villagers from her village were also present, yet the attacker showed no fear of the law and seemed ready to harm anyone.
She insisted she could never forgive the perpetrator. If given the chance to confront him, she would only ask, "Why did you kill my son? What wrong did my son do?" She wants the police to fully prosecute the case. Before the incident, she had no premonition of danger. Her son had only invited her, saying, "Would you like to enlist with me?" Her son arrived first on a motorcycle with his girlfriend, and she followed later, staying among villagers from the same village, never expecting such violence.
