A Cambodian citizen donned in army uniform was shot and killed by Thai soldiers who accused him of robbery. The body of the slain victim is still in the possession of Thailand.
Cambodian border troops indicated that Thailand refused to return the body of a Cambodian citizen who was shot and killed by Thai soldiers during Saturday night. Thai soldiers accused the Cambodian man who was killed of robbery inside Thai territories while still in his [Cambodian] uniform.
Pok Poch, the RCAF commander of army unit No. 3 based on Sampov Loun district, Battambang province, indicated that the Cambodian authority is currently in contact with the Thai counterpart to repatriate back the body of the slain man.
Pok Poch said: “I am continuing to do research in Phnom Dey still. [The incident] took place inside Thai territories, not inside Cambodia. But, I am doing research with merchants who trade in this area.”
