Sounds about right.

I assume they mean that the victim is the daughter OF a high-ranking police officer?
The daughter of a high-ranking official was working at a massage shop?

It's made the US news.
American arrested for 'raping and killing Cambodian girl'
28 February 2018
A young American tourist was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly raping then stabbing to death a Cambodian masseuse.

Shawn Sanchez, 24, is said to have been in a room with Luk Chak, 27, on Tuesday night at the massage parlour in Kep district, Cambodia.
Cambodian police confirmed the arrest over the rape and murder of the young massage girl, who is also a policeman's daughter.

Lt. Col. Man Sour Ov, Kep provincial police commissioner, said Luk Chak had recently started working at the massage shop after giving birth to her young eight-month-old daughter.

He said: 'The victim is the wife of Pok Soun Vibol, 27, a rice farmer, who has an eight-month-old daughter with her.
'The victim's father-in-law, Sok Sam Ath, a lieutenant colonel and a Kep provincial military commander.

Lieutenant General Mao Chandemith, Kampot provincial police chief, said that Sanchez had arrived in the region on February 26.
Officers claim that he was carrying the knife among his belongings which also included two mobile phones, a wallet, Mastercard and around 400 dollars in notes.

Officers said Sanchez had been seen on CCTV and by witnesses leaving the building, named Lida Khmer Massage
Police said that two witnesses - the owners of the massage shop and a massage therapist - claim that he was in the massage and killed the young mother.
The taxi driver allegedly said he was the one who had taken Sanchez to the neighbouring city last night.

He added: 'Sanchez came to Kep on February 26 and was staying at a guesthouse until February 28 when he left at 8am by taxi to Kampot province.'
Lt. Col. Ieng Sam Ol, provincial police chief of Kep province, confirmed today (Wed) that Sanchez had been arrested over the murder.

Why was he carrying a knife?
Its a Latin thing, goes hand in hand with the genetic chest inflation and short fuse.

Timeline - He arrived in Kep on the 26th and got a massage, went back to the massage place on the evening of the 27th and killed the woman in a blood-soaked frenzy - BUT he left Kep on the morning of the 28th ? Does this mean that after the murder he went back to Kep Lodge like nothing had happened (had dinner and went to bed) and booked a taxi for 8am ?
That sort of adds to the creepiness - if that's possible. :bad:

Also, Kep is very close to the Vietnamese border, so why didn't he do a runner ?

Yeah, he should have gotten out of the country ASAP and from the new booked a flight home ASAP.

Stupid criminals.

no need for inuendo.
She was a wife and a mother. She worked in a location where there is not a lot of work so took a job as a masseur. It was stated that he asked for sex and she refused.

Give her the dignity of being a good mother and wife who was working to provide for her family. =@

Holy shit, some of you in this thread need to stop throwing accusations against other members just because they question something.

I'm interested in hearing his side of the story, if any, he could just be crazy.

But this is a bad thing for all foreigners. If it's true he really picked a bad place to go psycho in, he will find no compassion from the police or courts here.
