Stolen wood kills thief.

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Stolen wood kills thief.

Timber transporter killed in accident
Tue, 8 November 2016
Mech Dara

A 37-year-old timber smuggler died early on Sunday in Mondulkiri province’s Keo Seima district after an accident caused the contraband wood he was hauling home on his motorbike to crush his neck.

“He had stolen two pieces of wood from other people, and he died at about 5am on Saturday,” [police chief] Chamroeun said. “When his motorbike slipped, the wood flew up into his neck and caused him to die.”

A local journalist, who asked not to be named, said that Sokhorn was likely chased by military police, which the reporter said had been stationed along the road to extort money from road users.

However, provincial military police chief Sak Saraing denied any of his officers were stationed on the route.
