On the morning of December 13, a leader of the People's Committee of Ea Hiao commune (Dak Lak province) confirmed that a tragic drowning incident had just occurred in the area, killing two brothers.
The victims were K.B.TN (8 years old) and K.B.T.N (4 years old), both residing in Kry village, Ea Hiao commune. On December 12, the mother of the two young children went to work for hire for local residents. In the afternoon of the same day, when she returned from work, the mother did not see her child at home so she asked someone to look for her.
After that, people discovered the bodies of both children in the lake near their house, causing the mother to faint and fall in pain. After the incident, the Ea Hiao commune authorities sent people to visit and encourage the victim's family.
Because the children's families are poor households in the commune, many individuals have called for support for burial funds. The father of the two children is far from home, the mother has to work for hire all over the area to raise her child.
