Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On the morning of May 10, 2020, at 7:10 am, two thieves driving a motorbike, plate no. PP1ID-9154, crashed into a motorbike on street 182/223, Khan Toul Kok, Phnom Penh, after snatching a bag.

The thieves were attempting a fast getaway on their motorbike after a bag-snatching attack on an unknown victim, when they crashed into a Chinese tofu seller on his motorbike. One of the suspects had thrown the stolen bag into Bak Tok high school, and they were trying to escape pursuit when they had the accident. The Chinese man was killed outright on impact.

One of the thieves was seriously injured in the accident and had to be sent to hospital, but the other one used the confusion at the scene to escape.
After the incident, the police checked the accident and returned the body to the family for funeral preparation.
RIP to the unlucky victim.

Still higher on the social scale than a Khmer bag snatcher. The Chinese guy was the innocent victim here. RIP.

If it's not tefl jobbers then it's tofu sellers...........christ, hanno is there any subset of society that you don't take perverse pleasure in looking down on?

The guy is fucking killed in a tragic twist of fate and hanno can't resist the urge to demean him.

I thought inferiority complexes were the domain of short men......you're the first lanky, string-bean I've seen with Napoleon complex.

You are morally bankrupt hanno........stuff that in your lederhosen.

Damn scumbags, for a few lousy bucks. I feel for his family, RIP.

We all take tomorrow for granted but none of us know when that big coconut will drop.
Still here, in country...

Ok, I should not have written that and mea culpa. He was an innocent victim and I hope they will catch the other culprit.

I think 'tofu seller' was a bad translation.
