More on drug massacre

17 people had been killed during the mass killing that took place across Maehongson on 31 May, when the United Wa State Army's 171st Military Region troops stormed the refinery of two Lisu traders, reported Chiangmai News yesterday.


One among the 17 was a Thai citizen who had been working as an informant for the Thai authorities, it said.

The two, Japao and Pawli, who were captured alive were reportedly accused of transferring 200 blocks of heroin across the border to Pakluei village, Tambon Mawnpin, Fang district, 160 km north of Chiangmai last month without paying due taxes.

S.H.A.N. source on the border adds that the price of heroin on the border is 250,000 baht ($6,250) per kg and tax is 10,000 baht ($250)
