PATTANI: Gunmen ambushed and killed an assistant village headman and his father-in-law at their home in Mayo district on Tuesday night.

Police identified the two victims as Muhammad Muso, Moo 3 assistant headman in charge of security in Yarang district’s tambon Klongmai, and his father-in-law, Bue-raheng Todaning. 

Muhammad was shot multiple times, probably with a handgun, as he parked his car in his house. His father-in-law was found dead inside the house.

Police were investigating. 

The murder came a day after another assistant village headman was gunned down in Pattani’s Muang district.

Samai Talomeeyae, 51, was found dead at his Som Tum restaurant in tambon Puyud on Monday evening. He was assistant headman of Moo 7. 

According to police, two men arrived at the restaurant on a motorcycle and they shot Samai to death before fleeing. An investigation is underway.
