Former village official gunned down in Thai south
[Bangkok Post] A former village chief was gunned down on the way to a local tea shop after returning from a village mosque in Narathiwat province on Wednesday night.

Police spokesman Theerapong Pimpa said Arseng Madeeya was gunned down in Sungai Padi district at around 8pm. The victim, who was an ex-assistant Bue Ra-ngae village leader, was shot three times. He was found lying in a pool of blood near a motorcycle. Security forces found seven spent M16 cartridges scattered over the area.

An investigation found that Mr Arseng had worked in Kelantan in Malaysia and recently took leave to return home at Bue Ra-ngae village. Before the attack, he rode a motorcycle to go to a local mosque for prayers and later went to a village tea shop. On the way, an unknown number of armed men with M16 rifles ambushed him. Rungruang Thimabut, chief of Sungai Padi district,...

said on Thursday that Mr Arseng had been expelled from the assistant village head post for his alleged involvement in the illicit drug trade. After that, he went to work in Malaysia before being shot dead.
