Burglar aka "Underwear Thief" Found Electrocuted Half-Naked

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): At around 1:00 am on September 3, 2021, in Chrey Koang village, Khan Po Sen Chey, an unidentified man in his 40s broke into the warehouse of a military base in an attempt to steal the electric cables, but died a horrible death from electrocution while having only a pair of underwear on.

That night, the security guards heard noises coming from the warehouse, and they went to check but did not see anybody there. Then at sunrise, they were surprized to spot a half-naked man lying dead on a pile of metal poles in the warehouse and they reported this to the police.

The suspect was nicknamed by the police as the "underwear thief" as he often stole from the neighborhood with only his underwear on. The police examined the body and determined that he died from electrocution and the body was kept at the pagoda for cremation.

I hate to joke at a dead person's expense but it probably wasn't by the end there.
