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.

Surrounded by Officers, Suspect Shoots Himself
by Buth Kimsay | August 20, 2016

A man suspected of robbing a Phnom Penh mobile phone shop at gunpoint on Thursday fatally shot himself in the head as military police surrounded his rented apartment the next morning, officials said.

Heng Sokmean, 33, a Chinese-language translator living in Rus­sei Keo district, allegedly made away with multiple smartphones after holding up the shop in Tuol Kok district at about 1:30 p.m. on Thurs­day, according to Kann Sok, dep­uty military police commander in Russei Keo...

Upon entering the apartment, mil­itary police found the man slumped on the bathroom floor in a pool of his own blood, a pistol resting on his leg.
“The suspect should not have shot himself like that,” Mr. Sok said. “If he really robbed the phone shop, he wouldn’t have been in pris­on long.”
