But more than a day after he was shot dead following a near 17-hour shooting spree that killed 29 people and left dozens more wounded, the killer — Jakrapanth Thomma — remains something of an enigma.

In an interview with a Thai television station, a man claiming to be a friend said the money at stake must have been substantial to have provoked such rage.
