A CONCEALED bomb was detonated at a graveyard in Yala's Muang district as a paramilitary ranger and his father prayed at the grave of his mother yesterday morning.

The blast immediately killed Saikh Jehdoma, who worked for Ranger Taskforce 43, and injured his 63-year-old father Azi Jehdoma. The corpse of Saikh's mother was blown out of the grave. 

Police said Saikh's mother passed away on December 10, and Saikh and Azi visited the graveyard yesterday to pray for her.
