Officials deny troops killed Cambodian boy but seek help in inquiry.
THAILAND has asked for Cambodian assistance in its investigations into the case of a Cambodian boy allegedly burned alive by Thai border troops this month, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, despite denying the involvement of Thai border troops in the affair.
Koy Kuong, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that a letter from the Thai Foreign Ministry on Thursday said that Thai authorities have not received enough evidence to substantiate Cambodian claims but that they appeared to welcome Cambodian input in the case.
“They have asked Cambodia for further joint investigations into the case to find more evidence, so that they can apprehend the perpetrators and punish them,” he said, adding that the ministry has asked the Cambodian consul in Srah Keo province and Oddar Meanchey provincial authorities to investigate the case further and gather more evidence.
The Thai government also stated in the letter that the black-clad Thai army unit 2608 had denied being on the scene on the day of the alleged incident, Koy Kuong said.
Evaluating the evidence
On September 11, the burning corpse of 16-year-old Yon Rith was found by villagers after he and his friend Mao Kleung were said to have been shot by Thai soldiers while cutting down trees close to the border with Cambodia.
Other villagers in the group, escaped unharmed from their confrontation with the Thai soldiers. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a diplomatic note to Thailand on September 15 demanding an explanation of the matter.
Thon Nol, governor of Oddar Meanchey province’s Samroang district, said Tuesday that he had already collected photos of Yon Rith’s body after the alleged burning and other documents relating to the case.
“I am prepared to cooperate on this case,” he said.
“We have evidence and believe that the boy was burned by Thai soldiers.”

OK, this is very suspicious. Is it possible that the Viets dressed up as Thais to do this so that they can incite a war?

ah kwach hun xen c joe and thai knew that is why they do this...
10:12 PM,
Have no doubt. Viets can be so tricky but they wouldn't do that. It is so obvious and they are smarter. I have no doubt that siames did this.
Come on people! Athough we haven't know who did it but for sure this is obvious that it's all Cambodian government conspiracty.
Remember last year election? They used Preah Vihea as a tactic. Now they are panic and worried so they use Preah Vihea again to steer people attention away from the real issues, human rights violation and corruptions.
They underestimate a woman, Mrs. Mu Sochua to take this issues to international level with full attention. The government is worried that the international especialy U.S. will evaluate the Cambodian government vital actions against it's people.
CPP is uder the radar now. Thanks to Cambodian in the United States help raising voice to US State Department to pressure the Cambodian government of their unethical charactorisation to it's people. This corruptions must be stop!
Cambodian shoud be owned and make decision by Cambodian Citizens not by one man, Hun Xen. Only idiots still support CPP. They sold almost all of our motherland and tortured our people.
CPP, the world now have notice your actiona! Either you are left over from Khmer Rouge or have Khmer Rouge mentality. Khmer people now are a lot more educated then you, especially who live and grew up oversea. We will now freely allow you to destroying our people and nation any more.
We need change! In order to change, we must get rid of the ruling government, HUN XEN.
Correction to 12:09
(typo error)
WE WILL NOT FREELY ALLOW YOU TO DESTROYING OUR PEOPLE AND NATION ANY MORE.
Thailand will not admited their guilts, cambodian authority must keep pressure Thai commander to turn in that soldier over to us and punish the bastard, of course Thai soldier will always deny and lie...
Didn't we recover the bullet from one of the boy wounded? cambodian should have enough evident to show Ministry fo Foreign Affairs, the thing that concerns me most is, our Khmer leader, authority are playing soft toward Thailand, we must take this matter very serious with Thai Gov't and Thai authority...
Yep! Khmer leaders must play tough and very very serious toward Thailand, otherwise they will continue to look down on us, on our Gov'ts like trash on the street...
Pouk ah pleu khmer leaders!!
THAILAND IS COUNTRY OF LIER!
THAILAND IS LAWLESS COUNTRY!
THAILAND HAS NO DIGNITY....!
MAY THAI KING LIER DIE IN 24 HOURS!
Thailand never tell the truth about their soldier commited crimes against poor unarms khmer people, this is not the first time that they had done to khmer unarms people, during 1979 too many khmer people had died and suffered under Thai black clad soldier abusive, i urged our cambodian government to continue to fight and seek justice for our people, don't be chicken shit and keep kissing their ass!!!!
It's about time to stand up and fight for your right, don't let Siamese bastard taken advantage on khmer people, and look down on khmer people anymore! we must be strong and show Thialand that we are not tolerate, enough is enough!
I may say, yuons dressed its political tools, the khmer rouge or cpp, to endure and burn more conflict with thais. It is not, not thais who profit this conflict but yuons.
pouk ah thai are doing foolishness just to make itself look little while yuons can benefit from such stupid action from the thais.
If thais are smart, they should dress khmer against yuons, not inverse. But thais have no patience neither intelligence to do that. On the other hands, now time is too short for thais to lead such policy while seeing yuons fully swallow Cambodia. It may difficult for siems to disput prey from yuons’s mouth or from yuon stomach. Yuons cant vomit it but may be can stool it over pouk ah siams heads
Pouch ah chaor yuons and ah siems are always so barbarous. Races with little or absent humain nature and feeling. Cruel, maltreat, kill innocent and weak people with much gratuity cruelties and animosities but submit and prostrate people stronger than them with no much resistance. Simple primate nature found in animals
