| [Bangkok Post] A villager was gunned down at his rubber plantation in Narathiwat province on Saturday morning. Thavorn Hayeema was found lying dead on the grounds of his plantation opposite a house in Chanae district when police arrived. Latae Samae, the father-in-law of the victim, said Thavorn was weeding a plot opposite his house when an assailant opened fire and fled. The sound of the gunshot ed Mr Latae and other residents to rush to the scene, where they found Thavorn lying dead. Police are investigating the cause of the attack, but an initial investigation found the victim had no involvement with illicit drugs. In neighboring Yala province, three bomb blasts occurred at rubber plantations last month, seriously wounding three rubber tappers in separate attacks. Officials blamed insurgents for the attacks. |
