Mum Shares Grief After 2 Year Old Boy Dies From Thailand Store Armed Robbery

"Sleep well, little angel."

For every parent, the goal is to be able to care and protect our children until our last breath. Unfortunately, for Thai mum I’wi Wilaiwan Triton, this will no longer be possible.

Her 2-year-old son was shot dead in the head during an armed robbery in a gold store that took place in Lop buri, Thailand on Thursday night, 9 January 2020. She had recently shared a heartbreaking post on her Facebook page over the loss of her child.

Mum Shares Grief Through Facebook Post
 
“I never thought that this kind of event would happen to myself,” Triton wrote.

She apologised for failing to protect their little angel and expressed how she and her husband are “almost suffocating” from their loss. 

She hopes that he would not suffer such a tragic fate in his next life. 

The post has since gone viral, with over 104,000 shares. Many Facebook users sending their condolences to the parents in their comments.

In the same post, the mum shared moments shared with her little one.

Thailand Armed Robbery: 2-Year-Old Sustained Injuries, Dies
 
The boy had walked past an Aurora gold shop inside the Robinson shopping mall with his mother, only to be confronted with a gold robber.
 
Clad with a “full-face woollen balaclava, black shirt and camouflage trousers”, the robber started shooting people as soon as he arrived into the store.

After being shot in the head, the 2-year-old landed in a local hospital and eventually died from the injuries sustained. 

Two others also lost their lives from the shooting, including a security guard.

The unidentified man fled the scene in his motorcycle after causing many casualties.
