NAKHON RATCHASIMA - Facebook celebrity doctor Parkphum Dejhutsadin said his phone suddenly started pinging on Saturday - scores of his two million followers in Thailand were desperate and they needed his help.

And it was on Facebook that the killer, apparently angered by a property deal gone sour, first signalled his intentions.
"There is no place on Facebook for people who commit this kind of atrocity, nor do we allow people to praise or support this attack," a Facebook representative said in a statement, adding that it worked closely with Thai authorities to take down content that violated its policies.
