| Three local men were shot dead on Saturday in two separate attacks in Narathiwat and Songkhla provinces. One man was shot dead by an unidentified gunman on a motorcycle in Narathiwat's Rangae district, while two others died In Songkhla's Saba Yoi district. Damae Jewae was riding his motorcycle to his orchard when he was attacked by the gunman on Saturday morning. Shot in the head and torso, Mr. Damae died at the scene. The victim's body was sent to hospital for an autopsy. In Songkhla's Saba Yoi district, an unknown number of presumed insurgents killed two local men shortly after midnight Saturday. The two men, Malaseng Hadlo and Muhammad Meesee, were ambushed by unidentified gunmen as they rode a motorcycle home. Police inspecting the crime scene Saturday morning were impeded as spikes had been strewn on road to prevent pursuit. The killings occurred in the so-called red zone area, where insurgents are active, so the responding security team could not travel by foot. |
