Khmer Krom and Buddhist monks gather yesterday at the grave of the venerable Eang Sok Thoeun. The body of Eang Sok Thoeun, a Khmer Krom monk, was found at the Tronum Chhroeung pagoda in Kandal the morning after he protested with some 300 other monks at the Vietnam Embassy in Phnom Penh, demanding improved treatment for ethnic Khmers in southern Vietnam.
Officials and monks from the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Association gathered yesterday at their murdered brethren’s grave in Dangkor district, calling for the government to arrest those responsible for his death.
“The authorities have not arrested the killer,” Kim Sisomna, a leader for the association said.
Dangkor district deputy governor Seng Kun said police officials were still searching for a suspect.
“Police officials have not been careless in attempting to find the killer and punish him through the law,” the deputy governor said.
