Court martial advice sought on five rangers

Yala _ The provincial court has asked the Military Judicial Office to decide if five paramilitary rangers accused of killing a Muslim man in this southern province last week should get court-martialled.

The court rejected a lawsuit filed against the five by Usaman Nurul-adin Jehlae, lawyer and father of Ilmin Nurul-adin Jehlae, a 20-year-old Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University student, whom the rangers shot. The court said the case should go to the military court instead.
