The KR started by murdering anyone who had an education, like teachers, technocrats the intelligentsia, and monks and eventually started killing members of their own movement they suspected had deviated from the movement's path.

They pray at the spirit homes and frequently leave small offerings of fruit and small change in them. The spirit house for the Palace has become a public shrine and there are usually people there praying, leaving donations and lighting incense. Photo by Jack Kurtz / ZUMA Press
