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.

This article makes me sick. I am not sure in the past 20 or 30 years ago, but in the recent year, there is no report about white tourists being kidnap or killed by local, beside, robbery, pickpocketing and snatching and traffic accidents, unlike in Philippine where some certain places, white people are warned not to go.
There have been a few, like the French guy and his 3 (?) kids who were murdered in Kampong Speu and the Dutch woman and her kid who were murdered in Phnom Penh. There was that Scandinavian (?) guy on 172 st not so long back. There was also the Canadian filmaker in Siem Reap and a few other mysterious deaths like Denis Jones and quite a few on Koh Rong.
Ok for all those cases you mentioned, i still can't agree that the writer in above article should write her article's tittle as Cambodia is no longer a safe place for white people to travel or reside or whatever. She was trying to discourage people to come to Cambodia while such cases also happened in most countries in Southeast Asia.

Of course not, she's just some clueless hack from Nigeria who copied the article and put a ridiculous sensationalist headline on it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Murder happens everywhere, not only in Cambodia. We still don't know who is/are the murderer yet. I wonder is this case the source that the writer could assume there no long safe for expats ?

Yes i think so. I think she might get all information from the internet and write her own version.

One generally does not get murdered 'just because you meet bad people' this whole er, case looks to be a vendetta of some sort. Money or love. Possibly a gangland thing. I worked on situations like this in a former time.

Premeditated executions are likely to involve kidnapping to a remote location. Execution. Then a further transport of the deceased to a disposal location. There was a lot of 'work' involved with this guy, it wasnt just a random robbery, where the perp would flee from a singular crime scene
