| Police have arrested a man suspected of involvement in the killing of two marines taken hostage in a Narathiwat village in September 2005. Combined police and marine forces nabbed Madao Kade, a suspect of killing two marines taken hostage in Tanyong Limo village in Rangae district two years ago. Mr. Madao and his family moved to hiding, police said, in a rented house in the provincial seat. In making the arrest, police seized a firearm originating at a military camp, as well as other items including cell phones, camouflage uniforms, a chain saw, and explosive devices. According to the preliminary investigation, the suspect was allegedly implicated in the hostage incident by outraged villagers, who believed they were involved in shooting villagers. The two Marine hostages were stabbed to death by a group of suspected insurgents during the detention. |
