He had told the team, In Skun village, there is na execution site located on small hill near Spean Sre Praing, in the western part of the village. During the reign of the Khmer Rouge there (1973-1979), some people were evacuated from Siem Reap provincial town to this Village and killed at this location. The numbers of families executed in Skun Village is estimated at ten to fifteen, totaling some 80 to 150 people.

However, this control ed was contrasted by Lon Nol's forces from 1970 to 1975, The serious killing by the Khmer Rouge occurred between 1975 to 1979, and was evidently worst between 1977 and 1979. In the three District of Siem Reap province the team was able to visit, there were many execution sites. The team regretted that time did not allow them to visit the Commune . The roads were also in bad condition, meaning travel in the rain was not a good idea, especially in the case where the sites the team wished to visit to were far from the provincial town. End/
