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.

The title from the DM article here is misleading; for the moment, the information is simply that Cambodian police "could" reopen an investigation.

Was 'drowned' backpacker raped and murdered? Police reopen investigation into death of Amelia Bambridge whose body was found floating in the sea off Cambodia after date rape drug is found in her system

Amelia, from Sussex, went missing while backpacking in Asia in October 2019
Her body was found in sea a week later and authorities ruled she had drowned
After having her remains shipped home, family requested toxicology reports

Cambodian police could reopen the case of British backpacker Amelia Bambridge after tests showed the date rape drug GHB was in her system when she died.

Amelia 21, from Sussex, was found floating at sea in October 2019 and an inquest later determined her cause of death as 'accidental drowning'.

But a bombshell toxicology report made public last month found traces of the drug in her system when she drowned in the sea off Cambodia, sparking fears her drinks were spiked.

If the British Government formally requests a review, officers in the Asian country say they will revisit the tragic case.

Toxicology tests carried out on the remains of British backpacker Amelia Bambridge revealed she had drugs in her system when she died sparking fears her drinks were spiked

MDMA - commonly known as ecstasy - and the hallucinogenic drug MDA were also found in her body but Amelia's mother Linda Schultes, 53, says she would never have taken these willingly.

Instead, Linda believes her daughter was 'spiked' while partying on Police Beach on the Cambodian island of Koh Rong and passed out before she was swept out to sea.

The mother suspects there has been a 'cover up' and believes the culprit who allegedly spiked Amelia is still at large, accusing local cops of bungling the original probe.
