Father Beats his Drunken Son to Death

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.

It's reported that the son, who was living with his father, had come home drunk and cursing at 2am and attacked his father with a stick before passing out in a hammock under the house. The old man grabbed an iron bar and beat his son to death before going back to sleep. The body was found by neighbors in the morning, and they called the police, who questioned the suspect before arresting him for murder.
