Two villagers shot dead, bodies burnt in Yala

YALA, May 5 – A man and a woman were shot dead and their bodies were set on fire by unknown attackers in Yala’s Bannang Sata district on Thursday.

Their bodies were found in a roadside ditch opposite an Islamic school. The site was 300 metres from a tea shop attacked by gunmen on May 3 in which four people were killed and ten others were wounded.

A motorcycle lay in the ditch and several 9mm bullet casings were scattered in the area cordoned off to prevent a follow-up attack, a possible trap sometimes targeting officials who inspect a crime scene.

According to the initial investigation, the victims were gunned down by a presumed insurgent following hem on a motorcycle. The attacker then burnt their bodies. (MCOT online news)
