| Extremists in the South have shot, killed and beheaded a Burmese labourer in front of his daughter in the most gruesome murder since the military coup, police said today. It was the 20th known case of insurgents beheading a victim. The last reported incident was last March 7, when they killed and decapitated the body of a 41-year-old Muslim rubber worker. In the latest cast, four armed men stopped a motorcycle driven by the victim with his 19-year-old daughter riding pillion. They seized the man, who worked at a nearby Pattani province shrimp farm on Thursday evening, according to a report at the Nong Chik district police station. The militants blindfolded the daughter, shot the man at close range and then beheaded him, said Pol Col Thawan Nakarawong. The gunmen then picked up the head and drove about 20 kilometres, where they stopped and booby-trapped the the severed head with a bomb, said Pol Col Thawan. Villagers found Yao's severed head at the side of the road about 11 p.m. Thursday and alerted authorities to the grisly find. The device failed to detonate. "The insurgents left a note demanding that police and soldiers pull out from the area, otherwise they will kill more people," said the police officer. In a separate attack Friday, a homemade bomb exploded near a morning market in the Thanto district of Yala province, injuring a police officer, said local police commander Surachai Wongsupaluck. |
