I think you’ll find his alcoholic girlfriend had taken the p**s once too often. Remember guys - two sides to every story.

Also Naga House noise. The noise of Naga House can be heard all the way to the tall Chinese constructions in The Pen.

Is the white guy in the baseball cap the manager of Blue Buddha?
He looks like what I would expect a guesthouse manager in Kampot to look like, including not wearing shoes.

Well done all you Kampotiuns who felt is actions were so bad that he had to be taken by the authorities and now he is dead.

I don't know what he did that caused all the kerfuffle but I hope it was dastardly enough for the conclusion.

Yeah sad its discussed in theoriginal arrest thread - poor guy, from arrest over some unidentified "cheat" to deciding to hang himself. He clearly had some issues and must have been in a terrible place mentally to take his life. RIP
