Court last week handed down a 25-year jail term to an 18-year-old for murdering his parents and his younger brother on March 9, Pathum Thani police chief Pol Maj-General Montri Yimyaem said yesterday.
On October 22, the court found the former university student guilty of the premeditated murder of his parents and brother, and initially handed down a life sentence, Montri said. However, since the crime was committed while the suspect was still a minor and his confession was useful to the case, the court reduced the sentence to 25 years. The young man is currently in Thanyaburi Prison, Montri added.
