Police yesterday arrested six more Bangkok College of Technology students for allegedly taking part in the fatal shooting of a Chamni Technology School student in Samut Prakan's Muang district last Friday night.
Two suspects were identified as Thanakrit Khaosuwan and Nanthapop Houdcharoen, both 19.
The other two boys were aged 15-17. They join four suspects aged 16-20.
The Friday night brawl left Rapeepat Sudsamai, 16, dead and Jakkapan Thienthong, 16, seriously injured.
The six new students were nabbed along with four guns and three pen guns, one pickup truck and two motorcycles reportedly used in the attack.
They were among 30 BCT students who fought with Chamni Technology School students on Sukhumvit Road in Tambon Tai Ban.
Thanakrit reportedly drove the pickup for the other eight students when they ran into the rival group that was reportedly spray painting their college’s symbol, so they opened fire at the group. Some 20 BCT students on motorbikes joined the melee, before burning the rival group’s motorcycle.
Police booked them for murder, attempted murder, possessing arms and ammunition without a permit, carrying guns in public and destroying property.
