Police suspect the fatal shooting might stem from a personal conflict, although they have not ruled out issues related to the deep South’s unrest and national security as a possible motive. Following a 6.20am report of a homicide, police went to the scene at the plantation in Tambon Yi Ngor. They found only a pool of blood as the body of the 69-year-old deceased man, Ama Adeh, had been moved to his nearby house. The body had sustained three gunshot wounds to the face, head and right arm. As he ran toward the house, the culprits shot him twice more, hitting his head and face and instantly killing him.
