Victims' families call for justice, diplomat says

Relatives of those killed or injured in the Aug 17 bombing in downtown Bangkok expect the Thai government to bring the culprits to justice as soon as possible, the Chinese embassy in Bangkok has said.

On Sunday morning, Wu Zhiwu, minister counselor at the embassy, led a delegation to lay white flowers at the scene of the deadly blast inside Erawan Shrine that left 20 dead and more than 120 wounded.

Among the fatalities were seven Chinese, five from the mainland and two from Hong Kong. About 20 injured Chinese are still hospitalized, with four in critical condition.
