Thread: Malaysian tourist killed in Narathiwat

Seems like more than simple robbery, incredibly brutal if it is. I wonder if this will have the same impact and response as the Australian tourist that was killed in a robbery recently? I very much doubt it somehow.

The Narathiwat Court has approved a police warrant for the arrest of a Thai man suspected of killing and robbing a Malaysian tourist on the night of July 8, Sungai Kolok district police chief Pol Lt-Col Taweesak Thongsongsri said on Tuesday.

On the night of July 8, the Malaysian tourist identified as Tang Ah Lo, 58, was killed and robbed of his valuables and his Proton car. His body was found near an irrigation canal at Ban Nam Tok in tambon Pasemas in Sungai Kolok district of Narathiwat.

With information from witnesses who saw the Malaysian and a Thai man quarrel in front of a PTT petrol station in Sungai Kolok municipality, a sketch was made of the suspect and it matched a picture of Sukaruno Da-o, 25, a native of tambon Pasemas.

Sungai Kolok police subsequently obtained a warrant for his arrest.

With the warrant approved by the court, police went to Sukaruno's house and found that he had fled, leaving behind the tourist's Proton car.

Police believe he may have fled over the border into Malaysia.

No, because who in their right mind would knowingly go on holiday to an area that's ridden with psychopaths and muslim fanatics?

I don't know about the Australians, but the Brits say:

We advise against all but essential travel to the provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla on the Thai-Malaysia border.

Added:

In fact, the convicts advice is slightly stronger:

We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Thailand due to the threat of terrorist attack, particularly in the provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla, where we advise you not to travel.
