Authorities are investigating the shooting of a 34-year-old man from Pattani province who was found dead in a rubber plantation in the sub-district of Saba Yoi, Songkhla province. The victim reportedly had previous gunshot injuries but had not filed a police report due to fear.

 

The police and emergency services arrived to find the victim near a large rubberwood log with gunshot wounds to his torso and head. The man’s younger sibling had also previously been shot and injured but did not report the incident to the authorities.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Jop Kaewsrichan, an investigator at Saba Yoi Police Station in Songkhla province, received a report of the body discovered in the rubber plantation in Moo 8, Kuha Subdistrict, Saba Yoi District, Songkhla province. He then coordinated with Saba Yoi Hospital physicians and Lieutenant Colonel Dusit Promsin, the investigation chief from the Songkhla Provincial Police, to investigate the crime scene along with the rescue team.

They might regret that decision.
