Sihanoukville, A body of a foreigner was found on Tuesday morning on Kamsap beach right in front of the provincial hall located in Village Bei, Sihanoukville city. The victim's motorbike Yamaha Nou Vo Mx with number plate Takeo 1-4858 was found about 3 meters from the body. Police said the victim died from violent, probably a murder as the body was found with three wounds all near his both ears. Some evidence such as sticks were found at the scene. Currently the body is being kept at Preah Sihanouk Referral Hospital.

Spoiler:

Look at the dog sitting there on guard.
Unbelievable it wasn't somebody located from very, very near to the scene.

Did I say that? I simply mentionned it as a possibility as a one off. You probably don't even know about that place, nor the other one being run at the back of the QueenCo hotel, nor the one underground behind the Golden Sands Hotel, nor the one beside Skyline, nor the one downtown by the bus station, all run by connected shadies and filled 24/7 with young guys on meth and underage girls maning the games. Do you know how many times the cops scope out these places looking for whoever just robbed or stabbed some other khmer for whatever? Lots of money changing hands at these places, so much so that PC Naren hasn't been able to shut them down!

1+1 does not equal 6.

yes it does so we dont need speculation and bollocks

The thread is about a dead guy on the beach.

More precisely it's about a dead near penniless German that has been sleeping on the beach and was most likely killed during his sleep, with a nearly full moon out.

Well, whenever anything happens that is sufficiently unusual or interesting to generate multiple news reports and threads on all expat forums, there is going to be speculation about said event/incident. That is why the threads exist, to discuss the reports, extrapolate from the known facts/evidence and to speculate who/what/when/where/how etc.

Even investigating authorities do that. They see where known facts and evidence takes them and if it is a conclusion. Often what they have won't initially be a provable, unequivocal conclusion. They then have to form a theory to develop lines of further enquiry - for example, they may know what happened to victim x, how it happened but don't know why or by whom. In short, they speculate. Why did victim x get killed? Knowing that may lead to who did it.

If speculation is discouraged or proscribed in threads, they are rendered pointless. You may as well just read the news reports of solved crimes or read True Crime Monthly a year later.
