YALA, June 15 (TNA) - A 53-year-old man was beheaded and his body burned on Monday by insurgents in a district of the troubled province of Yala, police said.
The victim’s body was found in a durian plantation in Yala’s Than To district, police said. He was stabbed several times before his assailants chopped off his head and then burned his remains.
Police said the victim’s head was found on top of a spade, not far from the crime scene.
A leaflet written in Thai was left near the body saying: “This revenge is to remember the innocent people killed by officials inside the mosque.”
The leaflet referred to the massacre at Al-Furqan mosque in Ai Payae village of Narathiwat’s Cho-airong district on June 8. Six masked gunmen dressed in black opened fire with M-16 assault rifles and shotguns on a crowd of worshipers as they were at evening prayer at the local mosque.
Ten innocent people were killed and 12 wounded in that incident. (TNA)
