A gunman killed Kubusoh Bukiyakong, 30, while she was working with two friends in a rubber plantation in Narathiwat's Rangae district.

The motive for the attack was unclear.

The gunman walked up to Kubusoh and fired three times. The victim died instantly as her friends narrowly escaped by running away.

Meanwhile, in Yala's Ban-nang Sata district, a resident was shot dead while leaving home to work in an orchard at about 9am.

One of two men on a motorbike opened fire on Piramlee Apibalbae, 43, as he was about to leave his house.

In Narathiwat's Muang district, militants sprayed AK-47 bullets into a teashop, injuring three men at 8pm on Sunday.

Police believe the attack was part of the violence that erupted in the deep South at the start of 2004 and has claimed the lives of more than 2,300 people.
