Southern Thai university student shot dead
Terrorists Suspected insurgents shot dead a university student in the troubled province on Saturday.
Twenty-two-year-old Piyaphong Phet-ngern, a fourth year student at Prince of Songkhla University's Pattani campus, was killed by gunshot wounds Saturday afternoon while he and three fellow students rode two motorcycles from Pattani's Muang district heading for nearby Yala province. Two gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire at Piyaphong and his friends when they were on the road in Pattani's Yarang district. Piyaphong died at the scene, while none of his friends was injured.
Police said Piyaphong was the third student of the Prince of Songkhla University killed in terrorist incidents, believed to be linked to the ongoing insurgency in the far South.
