PATTANI: A fugitive wanted under nine court warrants for insurgency-related robbery and murder was killed in a clash with a government security force early on Monday, police said.

The government unit surrounded a house at a rubber plantation in Nong Chik district about 3am, acting on information that insurgents led by Rosali Lamso were hiding there.

The siege extended into daylight hours.

Officials called on the insurgents to surrender. Religious and community leaders were also brought to the scene and also tried to persuade the insurgents believed to be in there to surrender.

No one surrendered. Instead, gunshots were fired at the government force, which fired back, according to police.

When the shooting ended, the government troops cleared the area and found Rosali's dead body. (continues below)
