Bangkok - A Buddhist plantation worker has been beheaded by suspected Islamic separatists in Thailand's restive south, say police.

Suthas Nookhong of police said Boonjan Saiphet, 59, was found dead early on Monday.

He said his body was found in a fruit orchard and his head was discovered alongside a nearby road.

Suthas said police had found no witnesses to the attack, believed to be linked to the Islamic separatist insurgency that erupted in mainly Muslim southern Thailand in January 2004.

Boonjan's death was the fourth decapitation since the insurgency broke out. More than 690 people had been killed in near daily attacks.
