The joint military and police force raided a house in Pawang village of Yala’s Bannang Sata district and arrested a suspected separatist militant, Pol Col Suwat Wongpaibul said on Friday.

The raid took place early this morning after police received a tip that the suspect was hiding there, said Pol Col Suwat.

The security forces searched the house and found Masawpee Kama, 36, sleeping inside.

He was wanted on an arrested warrant on a charge of murdering Nirawding Niya, 34, a territory defence volunteer of Bannang Sata district, on Oct 12, he said.

The suspect was sent to No 41 paramilitary camp in Yala’s Raman district for interrogation.
