The attack was reported about 1am at the home of 32 year old Ibroheng Museh in tambon Tanohputeh. The attackers used a shotgun and an M16 rifle.

Ibroheng was shot dead, along with his cousin 33 year old Ahmah Museh and neighbours 26 year old Aranchai Doheh, 39 year old Usman Yusoh and 25 year old Furagon Laso.
