VietNamNet Bridge - On August 12, the border guard forces of the southern-most province of Ca Mau called for local fishermen to trace a strange ship which attacked and shot a fisherman dead on August 11.

According to Mr. Tran Nhat Chien, 49, a resident of Song Doc Town, Tran Van Thoi District, Ca Mau, at about 7pm on August 11, when his fishing boat was running in the waters adjacent to the waters of Cambodia (about 30 nautical miles west northwest of Tho Chu island), some people in a strange ship fired several shots on his ship.

Consequently, crew member Tran Van Ut, 38, a resident of Phong Lac commune in Tran Van Thoi district was shot in his left chest and died on the ship.

The fishing vessel of Mr. Chien was driven by Hoang Huu Duc, 35, also a resident of Song Doc Town. The ship has 20 sailors on board.

After the incident, the captain reported to the local border guard forces and ran the boat ashore.
