[webfact]

 

Police are currently conducting a search for the murderer responsible for the deaths of a Thai man and three Burmese men in a rubber plantation in the Sawee district of Chum Phon province in the southern part of Thailand.

 

A 42 year old man, Surachai Somnuek, discovered the dead body of his father, 60 year old Prayong Somnuek, on the road leading to his house yesterday morning, July 16, and reported the discovery to the officers at Nasak Police Station.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, investigating officers discovered Prayong’s body lying face-up on the road, a mere 200 metres away from his home. He was dressed in black shorts and a plaid shirt. The perpetrator had callously covered his body with coconut leaves.

Prayong sustained more than 20 gunshot wounds to his face, body, and arms. The police believed he died about ten hours before his discovery. Two bullet shells were discovered nearby his body.

 to report the discovery of three more deaths. All of the deaths were Burmese men who worked at a nearby plantation. They had been shot dead. One of the bodies was charred from burning.

 

I wonder what they were all wearing? IMO totally irrelevent!
