Villagers including local official threaten to kill doctor suspected of transmitting #HIV to patients as number of victims rises nearly 50 percent. As health officials and NGOs rushed to the area yesterday, by 5:30pm further tests inflated the original figure from 72 to 106, out of 895 people examined, according to National AIDS Authority (NAA) figures. “If the other villagers and I see [Yem Chroeum], then we will kill him,” said Seoum Chhorm, deputy chief of Roka commune, in Battambangs Sangke district. A second blood test yesterday showed another positive HIV reading for Chhorm, 63, his wife and two grandchildren. “Police cannot stop us killing him.” #Cambodia
