Pregnant woman shot dead by gunmen in southern Thailand

Xinhua, November 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

Two unidentified armed men killed a Thai pregnant and wounded another woman in a drive-by shooting in the southern Pattani province, the Bangkok Post reported on Sunday.

The attack happened near a petrol station Saturday night, when the gunmen on a motorcycle attacked the two victims on another motorcycle, who were returning home after buying food.

Rattakikal Jawang, an 8-month pregnant, died and her baby was found not breathing at a local hospital.

Another woman, 30-year-old Saijai Thongdee, was admitted to a local hospital.

Police were investigating the attack, as it was initially believed to be perpetrated by insurgents. Endit
