Seashore (island?) community (Truy Koh Fishmern Association) in Kampot are still waiting for authority to act regarding the murder of a Khmer fisherman by an illegal Vietnamese fisherman that took place at the end of this past July.  The authority has remained silent.  The killing occurred on 26 July 2015; the Vietnamese murderer threw body into the sea.  Saour Roeun, a member of the Truy Koh Fishermen Association) who pulled the corpse from the sea witnessed two illegal Vietnamese fishing boats entered into Cambodian territory while he and other Khmer were fishing.  These illegal boats rammed into a Khmer boat to sink it; a man fell overboard; he was picked up the Vietnamese who killed him.  They then shouted and taunted us to come and pick up the corpse of their colleague in derogatory language.  The murder occurred around 8 p.m., about 2 km from Truy Koh (Island Truy).  Name of murdered man is Ai Yos, aged 42, a Khmer Cham (Muslim).  He is survived by a wife and two children who had depended solely on the murdered man for their livelihood.  Immediately after the association filed two separate complaints to relevant authority in Kampot—maritime border police… Vietnamese fishermen from Koh Tral (island which belong to Cambodia under Vietnamese control) regularly, freely, fearlessly enter Cambodian water to fish.
