NARATHIWAT : The leader of the Prachatham Party was shot dead in Rangae district on Thursday night, but two of his attackers were killed soon after by village volunteers.

One of the dead assailants was a man wanted for the highly publicised abduction and fatal beating of teacher Juling Pongkanmoon in May 2006.

Muktar Keela, 47, Prachatham leader and former poll candidate in Narathiwat's Constituency 3, was shot dead opposite his house in tambon Chalerm about 10.45pm while he was walking home.
