Schizophrenic released from mental hospital kills 5 children in Chiang Mai

Yesterday a schizophrenic who was released from Suan Prung Psychiatric hospital only one month ago killed five children in Chiang Mai. Asapa Siwua, 22, allegedly stormed into his neighbours house with a large knife and attacked Yikor Sae Jern, the owner of the house, three of her children, her nephew and a neighbours son. All five children, who sustained deed throat wounds, died during the attack, Yikor sustained a knife wound from her face to her ear.
After the vicious attack the victim returned to his own house that soon became surrounded by local people who were too afraid to go in for fear of being attacked themselves. However once the police arrived on the scene several onlookers attacked the assailant kicking him to the ground.
The police believe the noise of the children playing sent the man into a psychotic rage which led him to kill the children. The bodies of the children will undergo an autopsy to establish the exact cause of death and police will probe to establish the suspects motivation behind the attack.
