A woman was killed, her husband and young son seriously injured in a drive-by shooting in Pattani’s Saiburi district on Friday morning, said Pol Col Arsis Umayee, chief of Saiburi police station.

Korde Leeheng, 40, was driving his Honda sedan heading to Saiburi on Narathiwat-Pattani road together with his wife, Sakina Phitak, and his eight-year-old son when gunmen on another car sprayed bullets at them with AK47 and M16 assault rifles. The attackers then fled.

Mrs Sakina took several bullets in the torso and died instantly in the front passenger seat. Mr Korde and his young son were each hit several times in the body and taken to hospital.

The situation is clearly escalating, something needs to be done, but what? There are so many murders now, and this is the second time in a week that a child has been shot. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the different sides they at least need to be talking about a solution. It is very depressing, and everyone I speak to about it is either too scared to even consider the issue, or simply ignores it.

Hope that these killings will be taken at least as serious as the few people allegedly killed by the military lately .... and hopefully the community will help bring the guilty of these killings to justice asap.
