Finnish Timo Hannu Ilmari Jokinen Dies in Phnom Penh Bar/GH

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.

What was going on at the guesthouse for three days? Was it business as usual, were guests checking themselves in and out?

On the other site a poster who identified as a friend of the deceased said he'd visited over the weekend and found the place closed and locked but without a padlock on the door.

He (I'm assuming it's a he) also said another friend visited on Friday and it was the same.


It's also been pointed out that the three articled translated from Khmer contradict each other in details like this, and that another article shouldn't be given credence as it's a Khmer Times hack job.

Yeah, I saw that. The post you're referring to:

I didn't try metal sliding door but glass door was locked. There wasn't any padlock outside sliding door.
Seems they were really trying to get in. 2 of them. On different days nonetheless.

Is that normal? I have a lot of friends in Phnom Penh, and I don't recall ever recall checking various doors to get into a friend's home. That seems so 90's. I'd just call and if they didn't pick up I'd think, "fuck it."

I wonder why they were stopping by? Maybe they already suspected something was up, or maybe stopping by to get something.

The whole thing seems odd to me.

Well he was an odd guy. Wouldn't surprise me if he could often be roused by knocking on his door, given where the place was situated.
