Pharmacist, rubber tapper shot dead

Two southerners, one a hospital director, were shot dead in Pattani over the weekend, possibly by insurgents.

 

On Saturday night, two men in Muslim robes arrived at the pharmacy of Saman Masae in Mayo district to buy medicine, before firing three times at him and leaving him critically wounded.
Saman, who was also the director of a small hospital in Tambon Krasoh, was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital.
Police said the victim was well liked by neighbours and the assailants could have been militants.
On Sunday at 9am, a rubber tapper was pulled over while riding his motorcycle in Khok Pho district by an unidentified number of men who shot him four times before stealing his homemade pistol.
Police said the murder of Daeng Khwanphatthalung appeared to be related to the violence in the region.
