police arrested two men who reportedly confessed to killing a teacher in Pattani on Thursday morning.
The arrest was made after police, who were alerted of the attack, exchanged gunfire with the suspects for about half an hour.
The suspects were identified as Waeumeng Dueramae, 22, and Kari Maman, 28, both of Pattani.
They suffered gun wounds from the fight with police.
Both reportedly confessed to killing Suwit Bunsanit, 46, a teacher of Ban Koh Tah school in Kok Phoe district early Wednesday morning.
Suwit was driving to his school and was 100 metres from the entrance when the suspects, riding on a motorcycle, shot him.
Pol Maj Gen Kreerin Inkaew, a Pattani police chief, said that the attack on Suwit may be because Suwit was a wellrespected teacher and had lent good cooperation to police in fighting against the insurgency in the province.
Suwit joined police many times in hunting for insurgents in the area, Kreerin said.
School director Kanit Pumkaew said Suwit was a native of the district and graduated from the school.
Suwit stayed overnight at the school to prepare an exhibition that was scheduled to open Thursday morning. He went home early in the morning and was returning to the school to attend the opening of the exhibition only to be killed, Kanit said.
The school administration cancelled the exhibition and all classes.
