Killing caves of Phnom Sampeau
The killing caves of Phnom Sampeau are caves in Phnom Sampeau, a hill southwest of Battambang in Cambodia. Major atrocities occurred there during the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. Many victims were bludgeoned to death and then tossed into holes which served as the skylights to the caves.〔 Men and women were placed in separate caves and clothes in another. Today there is a large glass memorial in the cave next to the skulls and bones and a golden reclining Buddha. It is reached via a staircase. A memorial, assembled from cyclone fencing and chicken wire, contains human bones at the base of the stairway.
==Geography==
The killing caves are located on the Mountain of Phnom Sampeau, about mid-way up the mountain along a well-made diversion road. The mountain is of karstic limestone and has a group of temples located on it.〔
The approach is to the west of Battambang on the road to Pailin. The mountain is also home for the macaques, which feed on bananas left by pilgrims in front of the shrines.〔
There is a natural arch made of stalactites from where there are scenic views of the deep canyon, and the valley also has vegetation of vines and inhabited by bats.〔
