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.

Are there not at least two or three mosques in every province in Cambodia? If they don't want him buried according to Buddhist rights, why then not give custody of his body to the one of them (and it's not even like it's all Chamic, Folkloric Islam: the nearby AlSerkal Mosque is in the orthodox Islamic tradition).

Perhaps a Muslim here could contact the mosque on his behalf?
Well, sure but this does not change that they probably want to take the last farewell themselves or making sure everything follow their Turkish traditions.

Not everything in life you just want to let someone else do for you, especially not when it involves a loved one.
