Brothers shot dead at Pattani
Play
Former defence volunteer Mahama-sukri Musor and his paramilitary volunteer brother Muhammad-sabri Musor were shot dead at a market in Pattani's Nong Chik district on Sunday evening.
Police believe the murders stemmed from either a personal conflict or the ongoing unrest.
The police investigation found that the two brothers – Mahama-sukri was 29 and Muhammad-sabri 27 – had just returned from a hospital visit with Mahama-sukri’s wife, who had given birth to their child two days earlier, when gunned down.
They were on the way to picking up Muhammad-sabri’s heavily pregnant wife when they stopped at the market.
Unknown gunmen hiding buy the roadside opened fire, shooting them at close range and fleeing amid the panicked crowd.
