Deputy village chief beheaded

A deputy village chief was killed and beheaded in Pattani yesterday while a bomb blast at busy roadside restaurants in Narathiwat killed one person and injured many others.

Pattani police identified the headless body found on a road in Nong Chik district at about 6am as Muslim Phiromua Limuatae, 50, from a village in Yala's Yaha district.

The body was left in front of a royal agricultural project and the head was found later in a nearby forest.

Police suspect that separatist insurgents lured the victim from Yala to Pattani before killing and beheading him, but have not ruled out personal conflicts as a motive.

One woman was killed and 13 people injured when a bomb exploded near crowded restaurants in Narathiwat's Rangae district at about 8am.

Police said the bomb was placed near cooking-gas cylinders kept between the restaurants and triggered by mobile phone.

The victim, identified as Prang Panuengtakieng, died in hospital.
