Russians Shot at Queenco Casino in Sihanoukville, Cambodia

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.

Say what? It has my choice!

Up until a few months ago it was available ALL OVER THE PLACE, including hostess bars.
Spoiler:
Shit. I should NOT have mentioned hostess bars on a thread with Nok in it. DerailingThreads101.

Health care is indeed scary in the third world. Money talks, otherwise who ever knows. As I had to just remind Richard, you aren't in the western world where a 911 call is answered and police come and prevent crimes or investigate robberies and murders.
Because it's fun to abuse recreationaly, Nok. Come on.... Ketchup, Mustard.

Even before the Kazantip connection started there seems to be an increase in both Russians living in Snooky and visiting Snooky. I was at the biggest grocery store in Snooky a few weeks ago and all I heard was Russian being spoken. Is it because the Thai's are finally waking up and throwing them out of Pattaya?

Just a couple years ago, the Tourist Authority of Thailand was rolling out the red carpet for Russians, who along with Indians and Chinese were seen as the future of the tourist trade. It was BRIC mania, and many countries were desperately trying to grab an increasing share of those markets. I haven't seen or read anything that changes that official approach. I don't think anyone is being thrown out of Pattaya. Sihanoukville has always drawn Russian tourists, who go for the beaches and somewhat lower costs. Ain't no one going to Pattaya just for the beaches.

Sihanoukville Province: 2 Russian nationals were injured (1 of the injured fled the scene after the events) after one group of Russians numbering approximately 8 people armed with pistols, some armed with knives, in addition to them all having Samurai swords entered the Queenco Casino and shot into the air 3 bullets and waving knifes which caused panic at 8:20pm on the 13th February 2015 at Bago [?] restaurant, Village 3, Sangkat 3, Sihanoukville.

According to Colonel Kol Phalee deputy commissioner of the criminal police, one group of Russians numbering approximately 8 people attacked using pistols and knifes and caused (one member) of the other party of Russians to suffer a punctured lung (and) who is being treated at an emergency hospital in Sihanoukville.

One of the two victims is BULGAR MIHAI, male, 20 years old, Moldavian National, tourist, temporarily residing at Hang Pich guesthouse, Village 3, Sangkat 3, Sihanoukville.

The same official added that before the incident happened one group of Russian came to the (Bago?) restaurant about 30 minutes before the other group had arrived. Suddenly another group of Russians arrived in a vehicle (vehicles?) and they shot upwards 3 or 4 shots at the perimeter of the casino. Thereupon, one [?] member of the group which shot their guns (and who was) holding a pointed knife went directly to the other group and stabbed one of the Russians in the side of the back causing a deep wound.

The cause of the stabbing and shooting was because of a professional disagreement (about) the unequal division of money between the group providing security and protection for Koh Pous and the group of the victims: who are the ticket sellers for KAZASTIP (sic.) which is a music festival beginning on the 18th of February until the 8th- because the attacking side demanded the cost of protection at 50% of the benefit/gain/profit/income [?] equal to $200,000

The source of information said that on the same day as the incident the victim provoked a conflict at the ‘office’ of instigators which is in front of the Marina Hotel but they did not (physically) fight each other. After this the victims group went to eat at the Queenco Casino and then the attackers came to take vengeance, they then fled leaving an automobile and a motorbike at a house of one of the Russians. Later the authorities came to search and found 6 pistols that shoot plastic bullets*, a quantity of ammunition clips, as well as a quantity of knifes. They confiscated 2 silver lexus 450 cars and a Toyota car with a Phnom Penh number plate 2s6304, along with one big motorbike that Mr. Nicolai rents for his staff to dwell in.

Up until the present time (this morning the 15th of February) the authoirites have detained 2 Russian suspects to interrogate in order to find the aggressors. However as of at 11am today the authorites have yet to give any extra specific information.

Kazantip party goers can rest assured their personal security is in good hands, judging by this lot of hired goons. Enjoy.

Sounds a bit like the decision to hire the Hell's Angels as security and crowd control at the Altamont Free Concert in 1969.

Pistols that shoot plastic bullets? They are called airsoft and also a couple of cheap tazers . Looks like wannabe mobsters while the real ones set back and laugh. The knives also look like cheap mail order junk pseudo throwing knives. Why have cheap look alike junk when an AK can be bought for a relatively inexpensive price? If your going to be thrown in jail for firearms, why not have the real thing? As I said, Wannnabe Eurotrash thugs who have watched to many shootem-up movies. I wonder if they held their plastic pseudo pistols sideways like they show US actors doing in pseudo-gangbanger movies?

These pseudo thug wannabes squabble over crumbs while the real money is laundered in big empty projects all over town. This is the security for 10,000 drunk/crazed/stoned Russians and Eurotrash? I fear this festival isn't going to end well.
