Cobra house family again accuses security guards of arson
A family locked in a longstanding land dispute with a powerful real estate tycoon claims company guards late on Sunday night once again attempted to burn down their Tuol Kok home. The alleged attempted arson is the latest in a slew of bizarre attacks on the embattled family, which has faced an assault and an arson attack in the past month alone, while three highly venomous cobras were thrown into the family home in October. Mok Siv Hong, 51, her husband Ly Sreang Kheng, 58, and their son Ly Bun Heang make up one of three families who have refused to turn over their property to the Khun Sear Import Export Company. The land is constantly surrounded by about a dozen company security guards, whom the families and rights groups claim have carried out the series of attacks and threats. … Police downplayed the case, saying they had seen no evidence of a fire. Photos taken by the family, however, show a small blaze. … An investigation is being carried out by Housing Rights Task Force, which says the fire appears to fit with past harassment incidents. …
