According to the source: the Nigerian guy names Emmanuelalwill, male, 30 years old, occupation, sale representative at electronic devices company. He was studying in a rented house with his khmer girlfriend names So Rothanakthida, 25 years old.

Police said, the perpetrator hit his girlfriend and detained her inside the house, so she called the police to arrest him. According to the police who had been at the scene, the victim told police that the perpetrator used hands to hit her and sometime he also kicked her and when he went out, he also locked her up in the house. He didn't allow her to get out of the house until he got back home.

She said, I lived with the perpetrator almost 4 years. we haven't gotten married yet. At first, he really loved me, but later he has another girl. He always asked for money from that girl. I was so upset with him and i didn't expect him to be like this.

She continued, he (perpetrator) told me that when his lover come visit, i should tell her that i am the second lover. I refused, that's why he was mad with me and he kept hurting me.

i am not racist. It is really rare for Cambodian girls to stay or hang out with black people specially those are from Africa. Poor girl.

yeah true, Cambodians can be quite racist about themselves regards to looking down on the dark skinned khmers, i think they actually see african people as lower than the dark skinned khmers, might not count for every cambodian but i have heard a fair few comments

I admire her that she could be patient with him until 4 years.

You are a newbie to Cambodia, but it seems like you know more about it and its people. Cambodians do discriminate each other. People who live in the city always feel that they are better than the one from province. If you have dark skinned they would assume that you are poor.

Yeah, it is really funny. In the west, people spend hours under tanning beds, risking cancer, to get darker skin. Meanwhile Cambodian women cover themselves in bleach, which can't be healthy, trying to get pale skin. I guess the grass is always greener.

Ehh, gotta disagree. There is nothing to admire about a woman who doesn't know when to leave. I feel sad for her, but definitely not admiration.

I guess if you don't have high education and you can't depend on yourself. It is better to have someone you can rely on. i talked to a few people. They said they are willing to stay with someone who can support them instead of working in sweatshop and get $100 per month.

A difficult choice to make, it will be a hard life either way.
