Three get life, jail terms for insurgency in southern Thailand
2018-01-05
[Bangkok Post] A man was sentenced to life in prison for killing three soldiers and two others got four years each for inciting unrest and separatism in three separate cases.

Military spokesman Pramote Prom-in held a briefing on the rulings on Thursday. He said the Pattani court on December 28-29 last year sentenced Zufiyan Sni to life in prison after finding him guilty in an attack by several men on security officers and people in Mayo district in late March. Three soldiers died and one civilian was wounded.

When Zufiyan was arrested on March 31, security officials seized from him two pistols and the SIM cards of the dead soldiers. Forensic examinations found the guns had been used in the attack and also in a shooting of a civilian in tambon Palas, Mayo district, earlier.

Two other men were also handed a four-year jail sentence in two separate cases last week. Rooslan Tooyong was found guilty after his DNA was found on a separatist banner put up in Yarang district in March 2013. Akkaradej Sni was found guilty of illegal association as his DNA was found on the documents on terrorism and separatism seized when he was arrested at an Islamic school in Panare district, in March. “The three convicts were under six arrest warrants and had been involved in several fatal incidents,” Pramote said.
