On January 14th, Thai national media reported a shooting incident of a third-year civil engineering student from the Rajamangala University of Technology, Uthen Thawai Campus, who was shot to death by two suspects in front of a bus stop.
The two suspects were captured by the Thai police after an intense investigation. The suspects including one shooter and one rider were sentenced to 21 years and six months of imprisonment and had to pay compensation to the victim’s family of 1.3 million baht.
There were many similar incidents regarding conflicts between technical colleges that led to the deliberation of the relocation of the Uthen Thawai Campus to another location to prevent violence.
A government working group was assigned to consider the issue of the dispute between Chulalongkorn University and Uthen Thawai Campus, according to Thai national media.
On April 10th, the working group’s resolution agreed that the Uthen Thawai Campus needed to be relocated to another suitable location which was under deliberation.
