CPU heinous and barbaric homicide: UPDATE, 11 Year Old Arrested

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.

This was sent to CEO by the CPU around 30 minutes ago. This is terrible. It doesn't get much worse than this.
CPU (Child Protection Unit) Reports that an 11 Year Old Boy Has Been Arrested for the Torture and Killing of 6-Year-Old Child in a Wheelchair.

Horrific Torture and Murder of a 6 yr old handicapped child.

I know I have stated before that we have dealt with some horrific homicides and I truly believed our small homicide unit had dealt with the worst there possibly could be. HOWEVER I was wrong.

On the 24th of Jan 19, at about 11am the 6 year old male victim was playing out the front of his impoverished home in Kompong Cham province while the child's grandmother went to a nearby wat. The child's grandmother returned at about 12.15 and could not find her grandson.

Police were called and a search of the area was conducted without success.

Searches were continued on the 25th of Jan and the child's wheel chair was located in bushland approximately 50m from his home. At about 12.30 on the same day family members and police located the body of the little boy hanging from a tree.

Kompong Cham Police Command, Crime Scene Units and CPU were notified. An examination of the child revealed multiple injuries consistent with having been dragged a considerable distance. The child's body was located approximately 250m from his home.

I will not detail the injuries or the method of hanging as it is beyond words. The child could not walk yet was found hanged approx 2m off the ground.

I am restrained by law in regards to releasing further details however after exhaustive enquiries JTF members arrested an 11yr old male on the 28th of Jan, who has since made a detailed confession to the crime.

I am truly beyond words. I just wish to thank all involved, Kompong Cham Police Command and JTF members your strength and resolve is incredible.

RIP little one No one deserved what you must have endured.

Sounds rather unlikely that an 11 year old would be able to hoist the body of a six year old 2m off the ground alone.

Horrific. Poor child. They are so innocent at that age.
I've seen some big 11 year olds but I agree with other involvement. 2 meters is very high to get the rope. This sounds a bit complex for a spontaneous 11 year old brain.
Still here, in country...

Unlikely indeed that the 11 year old managed to hoist a 6 year old handicapped child up a tree. Either he is lying to protect someone else involved or he acted with others, maybe older kids/people.
