A soldier who killed 26 people in a gun rampage in the Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima has been shot dead by the security forces.
Jakraphanth Thomma on Saturday killed his commanding officer before stealing weapons from a military camp.
The suspect continued his attack on the streets and in a shopping centre in Nakhon Ratchasima, also known as Korat.
The gunman, who posted material to social media, was shot dead after being cornered all night in the building.
Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha gave the higher death toll on Sunday, an increase from an earlier figure of 20. Fifty-seven people are wounded.
He said the motive for the attack appeared to be Jakraphanth’s grudge over his belief that he had been cheated in a property deal.
