Where comes the "Village 10" from?
Where is it?

I just see 51 near Sorya Mall in the text.

Not all barangs in Cambodia are rich expats.

Are people from Türkiye even "barangs"? How white and/or Western do you have to be to be considered a "barang"?

I realize that I should ask my Khmer friends this question instead, but since I'm currently in Yuon Country, I'll give it a shot here lol.

I was under the impression that "barang" means any foreigner but I could have misunderstood or have been misinformed. Which foreigners are not barangs?

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.

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.

This is just what I was told, but it seems pretty unanimous from the locals.

I find the drunk khmers killing a foreigner more likely than a foreigner hitting a grandma with a hammer, unless he has a history of mental illness...

It seems things escalated too fast in this case, which is not a real surprise given the area
