All 365 schools in the province's 13 districts resumed classes yesterday after being shut for three days in protest over the killing of teachers Wilas Petchprom and his wife Komkam Petchprom. At one school, only 10 of 220 students showed up yesterday as most parents were not sure whether the school would open. The school expects all students and its 14 teachers to return next week.

Stronger security measures were used yesterday to ensure safety for teachers travelling to and from school.

Pol Gen Wichean yesterday visited the Southern Border Province Police Bureau (SPB) in central Yala. He met with local teachers on Sunday. He said police had found nine spent cartridges from an M16 at the scene of the murder of the two teachers. Further investigations indicated the M16 used to kill the couple was the same weapon used in attacks by terrorists suspected insurgents in Narathiwat in September of last year and earlier this month.

The SPB yesterday identified two suspects in connection with the killings as Muhammad-yusoh Dua-rae, 23, and Areeya Kree-ting, 22, both of Narathiwat.
