Phnom Penh - Thai troops shot dead a Cambodian man who crossed into Thailand to fell trees illegally, local media reported Friday.
Phlok Lai, 55, is the third Cambodian national to be shot and killed by Thai troops in the past three months.
District police chief Keo Tann said another man in the group of 10 was seriously injured while a third is missing after the incident late Tuesday. The remaining seven made it back safely to Cambodia.
"The Thai officers at the border said they would find the missing man if we ordered people to refrain from going to Thailand to log illegally," Keo Tann told the Phnom Penh Post newspaper.
Earlier this month a Cambodian man was shot dead by Thai soldiers while illegally logging inside Thailand. In the most notorious case Thai soldiers were accused of shooting and then burning alive a 16-year-old Cambodian youth in September. Thailand denied the youth was burned alive.//DPA

Ah khmer Gen./soldiers busy with corruption forgot to take care of their own people.
It is true, but Thai soldiers are barbarians. They kill Khmers like killing animals. The loggers should just be arrested and try in the Thai court. This is the most civilized way to deal with this minor crime.
Blame ah kwack's gov. for it!
shoot them when they enter our land.
