Cancer not gunfire killed bystander: court
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- The Southern Bangkok Criminal Court Wednesday found that Thanuthat Asawasirimankong, 50, had died of cancer complications and not gunshot wounds in connection with the 2010 political strife.

The ruling came at the conclusion of the inquest into Thanuthat's cause of death.

During the emergency situation imposed on the red-shirt rallies, Thanuthat, accompanied by his wife and their daughter, were waiting for a bus on May 14, 2010 at Rama IV Road.

The bus stop is located near Bon Kai community, where violence erupted between protesters and security forces.

After hearing gunfire, only Thanuthat remained at the scene while the other two retreated to their home at Bon Kai.

Subsequently Thanuthat sustained gunshot wounds in his back. He died in February 2012 while undergoing treatment at hospital.

By English News

NARATHIWAT, March 27 – A suspected anti-government insurgent with an outstanding arrest warrant was found dead in a ditch early today after a clash with Thai government security forces in a village in this southern border province late last night.

Police identified the man as Abdulromeng Dueloh, 34, and said an arrest warrant was issued for him on Oct 21, 2008 in connection with murdering state officials.

The security forces raided a village in Cho-airong district last night after a tip that a militant group was hiding there. The group allegedly attacked a military base at Ban Yue Loh in Bacho district last month.

Two defence volunteers were wounded in last night’s firefight and some militants were also wounded and fled from the village. (MCOT online news)
