Cambodian rights organization ADHOC has criticized the fatal shooting of man caught pilfering fish.
An ADHOC official in Kampong Chhang said a Cambodian fisherman was shot by fish farmer on November 5. He was sent to the provincial hospital but did not survive.
“The action was wrongdoing… but they should not kill him like this,” Chankea added.
All of assailants are civilians so should not be in possession of guns or other illegal weapons. The dead man, Taing Thy, 29, lived in Chralong village in the Kampong Leng district of Kampong Chhang province. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The accused men in the shooting in Lot no.10th at Sdeydakkong in Kampong Leng commune were identified as Chem Chheun 27, Chet Chuch 26, and Sreang Sreu 25. Two AK47 assault rifles and a sword were recovered, according to an anonymous police source.
All the accused men were workers at Lot 10. Two were arrested but one has so far evaded police.
Provincial Police Chief Ath Khem said he was busy in meeting so could not comment.
