Man Shot Dead in Front of ABA Bank

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.

Bank robbery my ass. The guy never tries to enter the bank. Instead he stands in the street and points at the man in white and they have some kind of verbal altercation. He then charges and gets shot twice.

As someone mentioned above, more like a personal dispute.

Man with a knife could have been alive if the first shot dropped him. Maybe shooter missed, maybe bullet too small, then again it's not smart to keep a person alive when he's chasing you with a knife.

You're right...prior altercation.

If you go to this link, the 7min video shows that @ 0.23 then after that, the security guy (?) with white shirt gets a gun.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to rob a closed bank with a knife. The guy looks like a crazy street guy though.

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): A preliminary report says that at around 9 pm tonight, on April 6, 2021, there were three gunshots fired in front of ABA Bank near Phsar Dei Huy flyover in Sangkat Teuk Thla, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh, causing one person to die.

Updates later.
The preliminary report was posted by Khmer news soon after the event as breaking news, and as often happens in Cambodia, the first story was a bit of a guess at what happened and why.
From the video, it seems that the guy hanging out with the knife was not a bank robber, but perhaps mentally unstable. If anyone has further information, then please post it.

Missus says bank robber was mentally unstable on drugs.

Of course it’s a repost from Facebook, in Khmer.

So it must be untrue.

Bank robber must have been an outstanding citizen applying to be a monk.
