Body of a Male Foreigner Found in Suitcase in Kep, Cambodia

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.

I have to agree with you that many foreigners are keen to take the risk comparing with Cambodian. They always want to experience new things. BTW, you shouldn't be afraid of meeting new people and strangers because of this. There are good and bad people all over the place, but it doesn't mean you will always meet bad people. I have met a lot of strangers and new people. I slept in a dorm room with a bunch of people i have never met before. I partied all day long with complete strangers. I moved all over the place and mingled with people from different countries. You might find it fun to talk to people and get to know more about them, their country, people and culture. It is all about learning and sharing.

If i happen to go visiting phuket, i will definitely go to see Richard and see if he will kill me. Image
I think it is good idea, but I'm a bit quiet person even though I meet many people. sometimes some people talked to me,but I couldn't remember who are they?

Fucktard OP just remove it - idiot!
Just be thankful it cuts off the top and the bottom of the image, at least.

You could send tapatalk feedback. Surely they could design the app to not display images in spoilers. Since that's 3rd party software, I believe that falls in their court, but ours, I'm afraid. It's a valid concern, so contact them.

We put it in a spoiler, which works like it's supposed to for all web browsers.

And I just put a LESS graphic image first in the post, which I'm "guessing" might make tapatalk preview display that one instead. Not sure though, can you see?

General Mackevili wrote:Totally speculating here...

Seems he could have likely been killed in his sleep.

I'm basing that on the fact he appears to have earplugs in his ear(s).

I've known a few travelers who sleep with earplugs so that they don't hear the street noise, etc.

Why else would he have them in, and putting earplugs in a a guy post mortem seems a strange thing to do.
Make me curious to see his picture. Image

Here are other news stories about dead bodies being found in a suitcase in Cambodia:



From 2001:

A 35-year-old man appeared in a Kompong Speu provincial court Wednesday to face murder charges for the death of a man stuffed in a suitcase along a Phnom Sruoch district road.

From 2002:

Burned Body of Man Found In Suitcase Still Unidentified

Kandal province police Sunday were seeking the public’s help in identifying the remains of a homicide victim found stuffed in a flaming suitcase.

The suitcase was found Friday morning outside Kdey Ta Ngoy village, Kien Svay district, according to district police Chief Maing Pich.

Authorities believe the man died in Phnom Penh and was stuffed in the suitcase, which was then driven to Kandal province, where it was doused with gasoline and set on fire, Maing Pich said.

From 2007:

Body of Newspaper Publisher Found in Suitcase

The publisher of a little-known newspaper, Voice of Khmer Krom, was discovered Wednesday strangled and stuffed inside a suitcase that was dumped in a deep gorge in Kompong Speu province, police said.

Police determined that the man, identified by a family member as Pov Samarth, 28, had been dead for three to four days before his body was found near National Road 4 in Phnom Sruoch district.

From 2012:

Cambodia probes bodies in Frenchman's car

Cambodian police were investigating the deaths of five people yesterday – presumed to be a missing Frenchman and his four children – whose skeletal remains were found in a submerged car.

The white 4x4 vehicle owned by widower Laurent Vallier, 42, was retrieved from a pond behind his house in southern Kampong Speu province on Saturday. The family was last seen in September.

...First of all, he said, Vallier’s skull was found in a suitcase in the back of the car, despite the fact that the pond had no current that could have moved it from where his body was found in the front passenger’s seat, a fact that also makes it clear he was not the driver.

And here's one from last year (2014) of an American tourist found dead in a suitcase in Bali, Indonesia:

An American tourist's battered body was found in a suitcase at an exclusive hotel on Indonesia's resort island of Bali and her daughter and daughter's boyfriend have been arrested over the killing, police said Wednesday.

This photo taken on Aug 12 shows the suitcase where the body of a woman was found inside, displayed at a police station in Nusa Dua on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. A US tourist's battered body has been found in a suitcase at the exclusive hotel on Indonesia's resort island of Bali and her daughter and daughter's boyfriend have been arrested over the killing, police said.

Earlier this year (2015) in India:

URGAPUR/SREERAMPORE: The suitcase containing the hacked body of a six-year-old girl, who along with her mother Sucheta Chakraborty, was allegedly killed by a bank manager, was suspected to have been found by boatmen at Mangal Pandey ghat in Barrackpore around 9.30pm on Sunday.

The boatmen alerted the police who were searching for the body of the child, Dipanjana. "The Serampore police recovered the suitcase and informed the Barrackpore police about it before taking it away. They suspect the body parts belong to the girl," said Barrackpore police commissioner Niraj Kr Singh.

Japan this year (2015):

Woman's body found in suitcase in Tokyo railway station

Japanese police found the decomposing body of a woman in a suitcase abandoned for a month in a luggage room of the Tokyo Station, reported The Japan Times Monday.

A luggage room worker found the yellow-coloured suitcase and after discovering its contents, informed the police on Sunday.

I change my opinion from Russian Mafia to local Cambodian folks.

This seems so common that I wouldn't be surprised if there's a stall in the Russian Market that specializes in selling suitcases for this specific purpose.

It could have just been a miscommunication problem. Might have told a few well-meaning locals he was trying to "get into boxing."

Sorry for my harsh language, and thank you for responding in a calm manner.
I do agree with you that making pictures available for the so inclined is the right way, but this one was a bit of a shoker to see unprepared...

It's all good. The web would suck with no foul language at the most random of times, LoL. I was a bit of a smart ass about it, but ONLY because it had already happened to you, so the damage was done this time around. Image

That said, I switched the order of the pics around and HOPEFULLY it will preview only the first pic, and if this works, it's something we can do in the future to prevent it from happening again, so thanks for pointing it out.
