Four male teenagers aged from 14 to 16 were arrested on Wednesday for the murder of a 16 year old boy and the attempted murder of 20 year old Mr. Suchart in Jomtien earlier this week.  The four boys confessed to being members of the Wat Taam Gang, as were the two victims. The reason for the attack was friction within the gang.  Therefore, the four boys planned to kill the two rival members, so on Monday evening they followed and ambushed them near Boon Temple on the way to Sukhumvit Road, where they pulled out two guns and fired at the victims, killing the 16 year old and severely injuring the other.  On Wednesday, Pattaya police arrested the four and made them re-enact their crime before sending them for trial.
