A gem miner working at an illegal mine in Rattanakkiri’s Bakeo district was killed in an accident at the site on Thursday, the second such death in three months.

 

Miner Tim Manh, 28, was working in a 10-metre-deep hole when the earth collapsed over his head, killing him. Nou Saroeun, 63, said residents of Bakeoi Chas village, where the mine is located, had unsuccessfully tried to rescue his son. “He was crushed to death,” he said.

 

Laminh commune chief Pen Sophun said the victim had been illegally mining on state-owned land. Saroeun estimated that hundreds of miners worked on the site during rainy season, while the number decreased to 50 to 60 during dry season owing to lower success rates.
