Father and son among three killed in far South
Three security volunteers were shot dead in an attack in Pattani in broad daylight Monday, despite a claim by the government that the volatile situation in the Deep South has improved.
Num Saksongmuang, 57, his son Surasak, 27, and Somsak Kunchum, 42, were on their way to a school in Ban Pasae village in Yaring district at about noon when two men on a motorcycle stopped them reportedly for a chat on Highway 2020.
Police said four insurgents in a pickup, two of them in the back, then approached. On seeing the pickup, the men on the motorcycle drove off. The men in the pickup were armed with assault rifles and opened fire on the victims’ vehicle.
