Brutal Double Child Murder and Rape in Sihanoukville

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.

Totally agree

I wouldn't rule out the father's involvement. Not saying he is involved, but in America it would absolutely be considered and investigated. Maybe he received some benefit from the perp to leave them alone. It wouldn't be the first time it happened.

Police hunt suspect in brutal child homicides
Sihanoukville police are on the hunt to arrest a killer suspected of raping and murdering two children in Prey Nop district’s Bit Traing commune on Wednesday.

Preah Sihanouk provincial police chief Major General Chuon Narin yesterday identified the suspect as 30-year-old Chhim Vichet.
He noted that his officers are cooperating with National Police officers and Child Protection Unit experts to find the suspect who raped and killed the two victims.

“Police and a group of experts are currently working to find a suspect who murdered the two children,” Maj Gen Narin said.
He added that police also provided money to the victims’ family for a funeral.

The victims were identified as 10-year-old Pha Srey Leak and her two-year-old brother Pha Sok Ly.

The bloodied bodies of both victims were discovered inside their home at about 3.15 pm on Wednesday after their father had left them only a short time prior, CPU said.

It added that the 10 year-old-female victim was in critical condition and rushed to Sihanoukville hospital, where the CPU arranged a medical evacuation shortly after. CPU noted that she died of her injuries a few hours later.

Oun Pha, the father of the victims, said that he works in construction and that his family is poor. They had come from their hometown in Tboung Khmum province and planned to stay in Prey Nop district for about a week.

Mr Pha said that on the day of the incident, he and his wife were not home.

“I left for work at a construction site and my wife left for work as a waitress at a restaurant,” Mr Pha said. “We told them to stay home. When I came back from work, I saw them laying down with so much blood.”

“I panicked when I saw them,” he added. “I appeal to the police and authorities to find justice for my daughter and my son by finding the suspect.”

Many thanks for the link. Very interesting insight.
Many years ago I upset one of my employees in Thailand. To me it was nothing of real importance, but he must have taken it as an insult or something. He bided his time and then I ended up in hospital, I was lucky.
I learnt a lesson then to always tread carefully with S.E Asians, theres a lot hidden behind their smile.

In my experience that’s a Thai thing. Land of Smiles? How ironic.

Cambodians are genuinely happy to see barang. It’s not a fake smile.
Even young males will give a big smile (even though they look serious) if you smile at them.
They’re not jaded like the Thais.

RIP to the little ones. That’s totally fucking sick.

agree with ur 1st paragraph, no punishment is hard enough for him, hopefully locals will find him before the police an beat him to death.
as to why a 10 year old is left alone with a 2 year old,
my gf cared for her 2 younger sisters ( 3, 5 years younger) for years from when she was 7 years on.
Very common in Cambodia when both parents are out working.
I wouldn't rule out the father's involvement. Not saying he is involved, but in America it would absolutely be considered and investigated. Maybe he received some benefit from the perp to leave them alone. It wouldn't be the first time it happened.
:please:
I find this very distasteful comment as i cant see ANY father allowing this.
and where do you get off saying in America they would be investigated??

A short time ago I was reading a media report about what was done to the capture of a rapist/murderer. From memory I think the country was Nigeria.
They took the guy to a large open space and with crowds of onlookers milling around beat the shit out of him. Then they beheaded and crucified him and left him up there as a warning to others. Stuff Human Rights, there is none for the victims.
May the little ones be with God and the guilty go to Hell.

RIP little ones.

Oh are they? A warm and genuine smile that inspires trust and kindness? You gotta be fucking kidding me :facepalm:

[Admin Edit: Deleted negative comment about ALL Cambodian people. Come on.] I told one of my employees to pay more attention to details since his work tends to be sloppy (Cambodian workmanship at its best). He got into his little feelings and hasn't spoken to me ever since. I caught him going through my computer deleting some of my work. The fucker would always give me a bright smile every morning (and that's after I called him out on his incapacity to provide quality work). Talking about a genuine smile... foh

Well maybe look at the way you manage your staff rather than the outcome of your efforts before you judge a whole country over one incident.

Seems to me it hurt your little feelings more so.

Well. He got fired and been replaced by an American/ Khmer dude that can actually get the work done. No backstabbing so far. No phony behavior.
If you get to generalize, then so do I. Fair, right?

My feelings are intact. I now know that the genuine smile you're speaking of is often times fake.
