Villagers have unearthed what could be a mass grave from the Khmer Rouge era containing about 20 skulls and some skeletons with their legs bound by rope.

The morbid discovery was made in the north-east, about 40 miles from the Angkor Wat temples, at the site of a former Khmer Rouge prison, where hundreds are believed to have been killed.
