September 5, 2018
Four construction workers died and another was injured yesterday when an elevator crashed at their hotel construction site in Pailin province’s Sala Krao district.

Meas Sokhom, section chief with the district police, said three workers died instantly and two others were injured and sent to hospital in Battambang province.

“It happened at about 7.15am. There were five people in the accident and three of them were killed instantly and the other two were brought to the hospital,” he said. “The cause of the accident was that the cable was severed after the elevator was overloaded with ceiling sheets and sand, along with five people.”

Vorn Dara, a provincial police officer, said one of the two people sent to the Battambang hospital was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The four dead workers were identified as Thorn Kork, 20; Borey, 23; Prak Khoeun, 38; and Lim Veng, 18. The injured was Torn, 32, who remains in hospital.
Mr Dara said the hotel project is 12 stories high and the cable for the elevator snapped at about the sixth floor.

Iv Kimsean, serious crime bureau chief with the provincial police, said police shutdown the construction site after the incident. Mr Kimsean denied to reveal the owner of the construction site, noting the investigation is ongoing.
“I don’t dare to say who is the owner now, or whether it is Chinese or Cambodian,” he said.

The owners must be Cambodian.

If the owners were Chinese, they would have harvested the victims' organs before handing the bodies over to the families.
