Mysterious case of drowning in Kampong Speu

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

KAMPONG SPEU - On 16 November 2017, the bodies of three people - a man, a woman and a child - were discovered waterlogged and floating in a pond at Sdach commune, Ta Sala district, Aoral district, Kampong Speu province.

The woman and child were soon identified by the woman's husband, but nobody knows the identity of the drowned man.
The husband and wife had had a quarrel when drinking, and the woman left with one of their two small children, leaving the other child with her husband. The man told police that it was not unusual for his wife to go away to stay with her family with one of the children for a week or two, so he was not at all worried.
According to the neighbors, this family often had disputes and was known for causing problems in the past, and the husband has been in trouble with the law.

But, the question remains, who could the drowned man be, and what was he doing there ? Police ventured that the mysterious man may have been the woman's lover and they decided to die together, but they also said there was some evidence of rape, and speculated that the man could have been a rapist and murderer who then drowned himself. They declined to say more.
Meanwhile, the body of the unidentified man was buried in Pagoda's Prasat town, Chbar Mon city, waiting for relatives to come looking for him.
