3 Kids Under 5Yo Drown in Phnom Penh Dredging Site
Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: The tragic deaths of three small children were reported at 7:30 pm Friday, May 8, 2020 in Prek Ta Tan village, Meanchey district. Two boys and a girl, all aged between 2 and 5 years old, drowned in Sok Tieng's dredging site while playing there alone.
According to a man who worked at the site, he first saw the young children near the sand dunes, and he chased them off. Assuming the kids were gone, he left the dumpsite to go shopping. When he returned to the site later, the children's bodies had been found floating in the pit by the little girl's father.
After the incident, the police came to the scene with the forensic examination officer to examine the bodies, and determined that they died from drowning. The remains were handed to relatives to be taken to Chak Angre Krom for the traditional ceremony. Since the families are so poor that they have no money, the commune chief paid $300 for the three cremations.
The children were extremely young to be left alone without supervision.
RIP
