Two Cambodians, a mother and daughter, have been killed when Thai soldiers indiscriminately shot at a group of 20 Cambodians who tried to cross the border to find work in Thailand on Thursday 30th September.
The two killed, 59 year-old Mourn Saroeuth and and 15 year-old Soeun Chatra, from O'Dombang village in Battambang province, were crossing the border at Robieng Checkpoint in a pick up truck heading to Aranyaprathet. About 10 kilometres into Thai territory, a group of Thai soldiers tried to stop the vehicle but the driver sped off, triggering the Thai soldiers to shoot at the vehicle, killing the mother and daughter. Six of the travellers escaped back into Cambodia by foot, 2 arrested by Thai soldiers while others have escaped into Thai territory without any news.
The bodies of the two dead had been kept at a hospital morgue in Aranyaprathet. Thai authority told Cambodian authority that the mother and daughter died of drowning, but a Thai newspaper reported said that they died of gunshot wounds because their bodies were covered with blood and riddled with bullets.
In the last two years, more than 30 Cambodians workers and loggers have been brutally killed by Thai border troops while they seek works in Thailand.
