Briton found dead in Thailand
BANGKOK: -- A British man has been found dead in a rubber plantation in southern Thailand where a spate a violence has killed more than 300 people in the Muslim-dominated region since January, police say.
The body of Mark Roland Lemetti, 25, was found early Friday morning near Sungai Kolok, about 1,200 km south of Bangkok near the Thai-Malaysian border, a police investigator said.
"We believe villains dumped his body in the rubber plantation after they had mugged and killed him somewhere else," Police Major Colonel Chalerm Yingkong told Reuters by telephone.
"His face was smashed and we found no documents on him," said Chalerm, adding that police were treating the case as a robbery.
Sungai Kolok, a border town known for its sex industry and popular among Malaysian male tourists, has been hit twice by bomb attacks since January. No one was killed in the blasts.
Some Western governments, including Britain, have warned their citizens against non-essential travel to Thailand's far southern provinces where there have daily attacks since January.
Lemetti is believed to be the first Westerner killed in the region since the unrest began.
The region was home to a low-key separatist insurgency fought in the 1970s and 1980s, but Bangkok says it cannot pinpoint precisely what or who is behind the current unrest in the mainly Malay-speaking region.
"Thailand shares with the rest of Southeast Asia a threat from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate and against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners," the British Foreign Office has said in a travel warning on its website.
Chalerm said police had not been able to identify the body, but later found Lemetti's passport at his hotel in Sungai Kolok.
He said a tour operator had reported that Lemetti did not show up for a trip he had organised for Friday.
