Battambang: Phnom Sampeau - Killing Cave

Travel diary in Norwegian
     

Every region had it's Killing Fields with a memorial. By the monastery Phnom Sampeau they have the Killing Cave, where the Khmer Rouge soldiers dropped their victims 10 - 20 meters down to be crushed by the rocks. Like garbage bags down a rubbish chute. Because of scull theft the authorities have to lock the sculls inside a cage.
