According to the police, the dead victims were four men and one woman-- Srivichai Wiset, Puwanart Muangmaithong, Mapairu Kayumee, 18, and Muslan Yuso, 23, Anong Phokom, 35.
Meanwhile, the three injured survivors were a 10-year-old girl Nuainee Jaetae, her brother Adulbasi, 8, and Pornchai Intasri.
The trio currently are in stable condition after receiving medical treatment at Sai Buri hospital. The initial investigation found that presumed insurgents fired volleys of bullets at both customers and fruit vendors at an open-air fruit market in Sai Buri Tuesday night.
The assailants later set afire a pick-up truck before fleeing to Kapho district.
Police assumed that the attack was aimed to incite unrest in the region.
