BANGKOK – A 26-year-old Thai woman has been found dead under suspicious circumstances in Poipet, Cambodia, after allegedly being subjected to brutal torture for failing to meet scamming targets. The victim, identified only as Suda from Phang-nga province, had been working at a fraudulent call center in the border town opposite Thailand’s Sa Kaeo province.

According to rescue organizations, Suda died after her handler forced her to perform between 1,000 and 2,000 repetitive squatting exercises until she collapsed. The handler then reportedly used an electric shock device in an attempt to revive her, resulting in her death. Her body was discovered at a local temple where it had been abandoned prior to scheduled cremation.
