SURIN -- Police have arrested 14 youths, aged 14-18, suspected of beating to death a man and his 14-year-old nephew they mistakenly believed to be rival gang members in Khawao Sin Narin district early on Monday morning.
The attack occurred near kilometre marker 11 on a road to Ban Chan Phen in tambon Prasat Thong about 3am, police said.
Mual Manyuen, 30, and his nephew Anirut Booncharoen, 14, both of Sarae-o village in tambon Prasat Thong, were travelling on a motorcycle when they were stopped by a group of teenagers.
Their motorcycle fell to the ground and Mual's head hit the roadside kerb. The man and his nephew were then beaten up by the young assailants.
Mual died at the scene while the boy was seriously hurt and died later at Surin Hospital.
Police later arrested 14 teenagers suspected to have been involved in the attack. Two of them are 14 years old, nine are aged 17 and the three others 18.
