Crime Shooting in Tak Bai, 3 Dead, Including 9 Year Old Girl
UPDATE Narathiwat Mass Shooting: Army Commander Condemns Brutal Attack, Urges Calm Picture courtesy of Matichon. A brutal mass shooting in Tak Bai district, Narathiwat province, has left three people dead, including a nine-year-old girl and two others seriously injured. The attack, carried out by three separate groups of assailants using motorcycles and military-grade firearms, is the latest in a string of violent incidents in the troubled Deep South. At a press conference held at the Pattani Islamic Committee Office on Saturday, Lt. Gen. Paisarn Nusang, Commander of the Fourth Army Region and Director of Internal Security Operations Command Region 4, confirmed the urgency of the manhunt for the perpetrators. He was joined by Dr. Waedueramae Mamingji, Chairman of the Pattani Islamic Committee, and other regional and religious leaders who expressed deep concern over the escalation in violence. According to survivor Chalermsri, the assault began when six armed men on three motorcycles stopped outside her home. One gunman, seated pillion, opened fire with an M16 assault rifle through a partially open door. Her daughter, Sasita and a neighbour, Mr. Daeng, were fatally struck. Two others, her husband and another man, were seriously wounded. Chalermsri narrowly escaped. Moments later, a second group of assailants arrived outside an adjacent house and shot the owner, Mr. Dam multiple times as he fled, killing him on the spot. A third group targeted a neighbouring home belonging to a man named Job, firing nine-millimetre rounds at the empty residence. Fortunately, no one was home at the time. Initial investigations at the three crime scenes revealed multiple shell casings: 10 M16 cartridges at Chalermsri’s home, 8 at Mr. Dam’s, and 9 from a handgun at Mr. Job’s residence. Lt. Gen. Paisarn, who personally visited the affected families and funeral sites at Wat Kokkayang and Wat Kok Muang, condemned the shootings as “barbaric, inhumane, and utterly devoid of morality.” He pledged intensified efforts to bring the culprits to justice. He also revealed that the violence is part of a disturbing trend, with continuous attacks in Narathiwat since 18 April. These include the targeted shooting of religious leaders, police stations, and Buddhist clergy. He alleged that some groups are attempting to sow division by blaming state actors for the violence. Security measures have since been heightened. All leave for security personnel has been suspended, local leaders have been instructed to collaborate more closely with security forces, and additional forces have been deployed in under-resourced zones, particularly during the evening prayer hour (19:00–20:00), which has been exploited by attackers in the past. Dr. Waedueramae Mamingji appealed to all communities to pursue peace and reject violence. He reiterated the message of the Chularatchamontri, Thailand’s top Islamic authority, that the southern border provinces must not be treated as a war zone. He urged government agencies and civil society to work together to address the root causes of the conflict and prevent further bloodshed. As authorities continue their search for the assailants, officials called for public cooperation and urged both Buddhist and Muslim residents to remain calm and support the ongoing peace-building efforts.
