Cambodian Woman killed in home-made firecracker blast

[geovalin]

AN elderly woman was killed when a firecracker she was filling exploded yesterday afternoon in Kampong Chhnang province. The woman was a firecracker vendor and usually bought pre-assembled stock from Phnom Penh.
 

She had recently decided to try packing her own firecrackers and was working at home in Rolear Paear commune when the explosion occurred. Commune police chief Thim Chom Reorn identified the victim as 67-year-old Ek Ny.
 

“She had bought the powder and other ingredients from the market to package the firecrackers herself,” he said. “We think the spoon she was using with the powder might have been too hot and caused the explosion. Her body was thrown out of the house onto the road.
