Malaysian man shot in southern Thailand

RANTAU PANJANG, Dec 21 – A Malaysian man was seriously injured after he was shot several times in an incident in Kampung Mundok, Sungai Golok, in southern Thailand today, Kelantan police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi said.
He said Mohd Darus Mohd Daud, 37, was at a karaoke centre in Sungai Golok when three men, one of them known to him, approached him at about 4am and took him away in a Toyota Hilux vehicle.
The men assaulted him in the vehicle and dragged him out when the vehicle stopped by a river bank and a scuffle broke out.
"During the scuffle, the victim fell into the river and was shot at," he told reporters.
He said Mohd Darus, who was shot in the abdomen, buttocks, left wrist and right leg, managed to swim away and was found by villagers in Kampung Jeram Perdah, Pasir Mas, who informed the General Operations Force.
Mohd Darus was taken to the Pasir Mas Hospital and then transferred to the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital in Kota Baru, where he is reported to be in a stable condition.
Abdul Rahim said the state police were investigating the motive of the shooting and would also inform their Thai counterparts of the incident. – Bernama
