一 | Phnom Penh, Oct 14 (UNI) Ten students were confirmed dead and one was missing after a motorized boat accident on the Mekong River in southern Cambodia's Kandal province, a senior police official said on Friday.

The accident occurred Thursday evening at around 7:00 p.m. local time when the boat, with 15 people aboard, including two boat crew members and 13 students, sank about 50 meters off the shore in Leuk Daek district, said Kandal provincial police chief Chhoeun Sochet.

"By Friday afternoon, 10 bodies had been recovered, while four survivors, two students and two crew members, were rescued," he told reporters. "Rescue efforts for the one missing are still going on."

The accident happened when the boat ferried those students from an English class to their homes on an island village, Sochet said, adding that high speed, overloading and neglect driving were blamed for the accident.

According to the Kandal Provincial Police's report, the ill-fated students aged between 12 and 14 years.

On social media, Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen expressed his condolences and urged people living along the rivers to be extra vigilant, particularly during the flood season.

UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。 The father of the Highland Park shooter will be criminally investigated, according to The Guardian, for signing off on his son’s firearm license in 2019. On July 4, 2022, his son allegedly murdered seven people and injured at least 40 more.,Robert Crimo Jr., the father of Robert Crimo III, sponsored his son’s firearm license in 2019. In Illinois, gun purchasers must be at least 21 years of age if they do not have the written consent of their parent or legal guardian. Crimo Jr. admitted to signing the affidavit to media outlets before the criminal investigation became public. By signing the document, he agreed to be held liable “for any damages resulting from the minor applicant’s use of firearms or firearm ammunition.”,Crimo Jr. signed the application despite his son having two previous encounters with the police. One of those encounters occurred in September 2019, during which Crimo III allegedly stated that he would “kill everybody” in his family. Law enforcement confiscated 16 knives, a dagger, and a sword from Crimo III’s room that day, but they were returned after Crimo Jr. claimed that the weapons were his and were only stored in his son’s room for “safekeeping.”,When asked if he regretted the decision to sign off on his son’s firearm purchase, Crimo Jr. said he does not. “Had I purchased guns throughout the years and given them to him in my name, that’s a different story. But he went through that whole process himself.” Crimo Jr. also noted that his son purchased firearms himself before the shooting.,Crimo III is currently 22 years old and would not have needed to get his parents’ permission for a firearm license if he applied for one after his 21st birthday.,Crimo Jr. says his son had “good morals” and that the two had talked about the Copenhagen, Denmark, shooting that took place a day earlier. During that conversation, Crimo Jr. says that his son called the Denmark shooter “an idiot.”,Police say that Crimo III told them he had planned another massacre at a Wisconsin Fourth of July parade after he left Highland Park. He instead decided to return to Illinois where he was arrested driving his mother’s vehicle.,This is not the first time the parents of an alleged mass shooter have found themselves in legal trouble. Two parents in Michigan were charged with involuntary manslaughter after their 15-year-old son used a gun they purchased to murder four classmates.,There were 13 mass shootings nationwide over the Fourth of July weekend.。
