Ukranian, Geokii Charkyim, Found Dead with Fractured Skull in Kampot, Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

22 May 2017. Toward 9am this morning, a 35yo Russian woman, Oxana Mokrova discovered the body of 45 year old Ukranian national, Geokii Charkyim on the floor of his Kampot home, on the road to Wat Veal Puat, Ondong village. Ms Mokrova was reportedly living with the deceased at this address, but had been absent some days in Sihanoukville until that morning. She came home to find his body lying on the kitchen floor.

Mr Charkyim was reputed to be a heavy-drinking alcoholic, and it is believed that he fell while intoxicated and fractured his skull. There is no suggestion of foul play.

The police asked Ms Mokrova to contact the relatives of the deceased, and his body was taken to the Provincial Referral Hospital at Kampot to await instructions from relatives. RIP.

I do not understand the first two pictures at all. Is one of them the lady that found him? Are they both the same lady? Why is she being interviewed in the forest. Oh Cambodia, you mysterious beast.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

If you look at where the dude's lying he's pretty much outside, his house appears to have an open porch/kitchen/diner and beyond is the bush. They're interviewing her next to the blue and white cordon tape you can see in the bottom right corner. Probably because that's where the shade is. He's way out in the sticks, probably up river somewhere.

I can't make sense of where the chairs are located, relative to the deceased. Unless they've been moved there to stop traffic.
