The Criminal Court yesterday handed down a 27year jail term to a young man for conspiring to kill students from a rival school.
Natthawut Wangmuk pleaded guilty to riding the motorcycle as Panupong Jiewthongkham opened fire on students at the University of Technology Tawanok Uthenthawai Campus last December.
The Tawanok University is widely considered a rival of the Pathum Wan Institute of Technology, where Natthawut was studying at the time.
The shooting instantly killed Natthapan Krongrod, 19, and injured three other students.
Nattawut's life sentence was reduced on grounds of his confession and the fact that he was just 19 at the time of the crime.
The victim's parents said they respected the court ruling, though they lamented that nothing would bring back their only son.
Panupong is still on the run.
