Australian STEVE MORRISH Arrested in Phnom Penh for Breaking Japanese Man's Nose in Drunken Street Fight

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.

LOL, when is Wild Bill going to entertain us with another ATM beating or barmaid glassing? He's been quiet lately.

Tbh I think Morrish would do well in the FBI, I mean could it get any worse?

I bet the Japanese made a disparaging remark about Brunty's cider, LOL

I think news of Steve Morrish getting arrested in Cambodia has made its way to Australia already, as they are showing very high numbers in Google Analytics.

Here is another source: [removed because it shows passport details]

It says Street 130 and the TVFB commentator says 130 not 136. Google translate says French restaurant, but at 1:30 am. it had to be a bar.

Did it happen at Loco Bar? A French guy owns Loco.
