Six Cambodians arrested after beating Turkish national UFUK ÖNTÜRK, 53, to death for hammer attack

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.

What kind of foreigner stays in village 10? I can't think of a worse place to stay in miles. Not blaming the Turk, just wondering what he was thinking of staying around there at all?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I'm merely assessing this situation based on eyewitness reports and the news, same as everyone else: If anything has anything else to add, then perhaps I was hasty to judge, but based on this information alone, it sounds like he was dealt with accordingly: None of us would let a man with a hammer attack our girlfriends or wives, would we?
No sir!
Our immediate response would be to call five family members / friends to finish him off with the six of us.

Justice for all!
Finish him off?

First the foreigner guest dropped an ashtray at almost hit someone’s son. When the wife went to inquire why he did it, instead of apologizing, he attacked her with a hammer. When the husband when to protect the wife, the guy also attacked him with the hammer. The husband called for reinforcements.

I bet the guy was still trying to hammer then all and was overwhelmed with numbers.

They weren’t just killing the poor unfortunate foreigner because he used a hammer on the lady. They were trying to stop him for hammering others to death.

He was out to murder people but instead got murdered himself.

At least my read on things.
Not 1 of them look like they were hit by a hammer, you would assume the way the story reads that at least 1 would get hit and injured. Especially if he was fighting for his life.
In all likelihood, he did drop the ash try, the khmers took it as intentional and went and beat him to death. They then planted the hammer and colluded together for their back up story.

The six who killed the Turk look remarkably unharmed for people nearly hammered to death.

Do you know there are two police stations just over a hammer throw away from that spot?

My take is is booze and probably drugs are involved, given the location where it happened.

If you are a foreigner coming to live in Cambodia and all you can afford is a place in Village 10 in Phnom Penh, you made a huge mistake by leaving your home country.
