Banteay Meanchey Province: Three families in Poipet City told Koh Santepheap that they lost their members in the recent massive casino fire.
Family 1: Sam Siet, 65 years old, with a wife named Lin Ry, 61 years old, residing in Prachea Thom Lech Village, Sangkat Phsar Kandal, Krong Poipet.
The family said their daughter, Sam Srey Mom, 33, who was a janitor at the Grand Diamond Casino has been missing since the night of December 28, 2022, the day the fire engulfed the casino, leaving 3 sons and daughters.
Khim Vong, 32, the victim's husband, said that before the fire broke out in Kasi Noh above, his wife went to work as usual, and was never seen again.
About 10 days after the incident, three people, two Thais and a Cambodian, went to his house with fifteen thousand baht, saying that it is a condolence money to buy milk for the little girl.
Family 2: Heang Bunnoeun, 58 years old, and his wife named Sam Sony, 56 years old, living in Ochrov village Sangkat Poipet, Poipet City claims that his sister Oeuthy was a sanitation employee at the casino, and has been missing since the night of the casino fire and has yet to return home.
The second family said that after the fire occurred because the victim did not return home they suspected she had died, so relatives organized the festival.
During the ceremony, Thai and Cambodian suspects representing the casino company took 15,000 baht to offer condolences. And claimed they will provide 5,000 baht to help the victim's family to raise children for another 3 months.
Family 3: Phal Reth, 58 years old, wife named Khut Rany, 55 years old, living in Toul Pong village, Sangkat Or Russey, Poi city, said that his nephew (nephew of the husband) named Keo Visoth, a 57-year-old male employee of the above casino, went missing.
The first and second families claim to have received some money from Thais suspected of representing the casino company. But they, especially the third family, called on the Royal Government to help find justice, that is, to get appropriate compensation because their family members are missing. The aunt of the third victim said that since the fire until now, the victim's wife is still seeking justice and has not received any compensation.
Regarding the above case, Koh Santepheap could not contact the casino company that suffered from the fire for clarification because it does not know the phone number. Asked on social media telegram to find out how many Cambodians have applied after the Poipet casino fire seeking relatives, Poipet Mayor Keat Hul did not respond to a request for comment.
Separately, Colonel Sao Saroeun, Poipet City Police Inspector, told Koh Santepheap that some citizens had filed a complaint to demand that the authorities help find their members who claim to be missing in the recent casino fire, but he said that now the provincial leaders who set up the commission are still actively researching.
