How greatly must Laos suffer at the hands of drug traffickers?
Almost every day, Lao local newspapers report about the apprehension of drug traffickers, while every so often they report the murder of innocent people such as women and children as a result of drug use, particularly amphetamines.
One example was reported on 11 October when a 33-year-old man used a knife to brutally kill his 10-year-old niece and 2-year-old nephew in Outhoumphon district, Savannakhet province in what was a horrific case.
