- Police in Kampong Chhnang province have made an arrest over the brutal rape and murder of a woman in Chulkiri district, identifying the accused as the victim’s ex-husband.
The body of the victim, Huon Nary, 21, was found naked in a rice field on Tuesday morning after she had been raped, strangled and had her neck broken and cut with a knife.

Seng Sokkhoeunn, Chulkiri district deputy police chief, said police arrested her ex-husband, Chy Chimrath, 20, yesterday in Kbal Konlong village.

“According to the suspect’s answers, he confessed that he killed the victim because he was angry at her father for separating him and his wife and expelling him from their home,” said Mr Sokkhoeunn.
“To get revenge, the suspect persuaded the victim to meet with him in a forest at night time where he had sex with her and then killed her by strangling her, and breaking and slashing her neck.”

Mr Sokkhoeunn noted the couple had a six-month-old baby together and had divorced last month. He said the suspect has been accused of premeditated murder and faces a life sentence in prison if convicted.

Jesus. I can't help but feel that the system of arranged marriages in this country is the cause of these murders. This is why the Indians banned bride prices. You get two strangers barely out of nappies rammed together and told they need to start a family and support their elders, and there's a whole fucking thing about money right at the start.

Whichever way round they do it.

15 February 2018
A Kampong Chhnang man was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly murdering his wife, marking the third domestic murder in almost as many days this week.
Kong Vuthy, chief of Peam Chhkork commune police, said Horn Nary, 20, went missing on Monday and was found dead about 400 metres from her home. Her throat was slit, allegedly with a kitchen knife.

Her husband, Chi Khem Dima, 20, was sent to the court yesterday. They were married in May last year and have a 6-month-old baby.

“We put the suspicion on the husband based on three things,” Vuthy said. “First, the girl never went away with anyone who she did not know well. Secondly, the place of the crime was not common – only her close relations went there. Thirdly, the husband did not actively participate in her funeral.”

Vuthy added the murder may have been motivated by jealousy or money problems. Peam Chhkork Commune Chief Ke Meth said he was unaware of any domestic violence issues as the couple had never sought out his help at the commune hall.

“But two days before the incident happened, I overhead villagers say the husband ran to his home in the neighbouring commune. He was angry with his wife for not following him to live in his family home,” Meth said.

The recent spate of domestic murders was “disappointing”, according to Gender and Development for Cambodia executive director Ros Sopheap. She urged the relevant authorities to mete out appropriate punishments for the crimes, and called on Cambodian men to value “the power of respect” over control in their relationships.

I don't believe that so many marriages are arranged anymore, as far as I know it's more common in the upper echelons.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
