The Voice Cambodia star, San Srey Lai, shot dead by ex-husband

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.

In the USA being killed by your intimate partner is much less likely to happen than sitting on your arse all day eating and doing Feck all https://www.wvdhhr.org/bph/oehp/obesity/mortality.htm. (60 v 300,000)

Just noticed you said Australia not the US but I can’t be bothered to look up the figures for Oz though I would wager they’re similar.
Not even close, last year 71 of a total of 227 murders were from partners.

Sad situation. But men in the states (and probably most places) are far more likely to take their own lives than kill their ex. After a divorce the male suicide rate jumps from 4 times the female rate to 9 times the female rate (while the female rate is unchanged by divorce). I can understand murder if the woman is abusive and a deadly danger to his kids. The vast majority of child abuse is of course perpetrated by women, and unless she's a real monstrosity (drug addict ect) she automatically gets custody.
The vast majority of divorces in the west are filed by women and women are often advised by their lawyer to file false accusations of domestic violence. That tool is used so often that it's almost routine now. That causes the woman to get custody almost always. And then the systematic looting of the man's entire accumulated wealth begins. It's astounding how brutal the family court system in the west can be. So much of the man's income is seized that it often becomes nearly impossible to survive. And if the man's hours are cut or he gets laid off, his entire bank account can be emptied, leaving him with nothing to pay his rent with. And when he's about to be evicted that's when suicide starts to look like a solution to his problems.

I saw this this sort of thing happen to far too many of my friends and fellow mechanics. It's part of why I opted not to marry. It's not all bad though. With the help of a single man's lifestyle I'm now able to retire 13 years early (if I do it in Cambodia or some other low cost of living country). I'll probably be there sometime next year.

Does being a mechanic carry a high risk of committing suicide?
I can honestly say in my 50+ years (cough) I do not know anyone who has topped themselves. No friends, family or mechanics. Maybe I just make everyone fucking happy.

Yes

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that farmers, lumberjacks and fishermen kill themselves most often. High rates were also seen in carpenters, miners, electricians and people who work in construction. Mechanics were close behind, according to the study, which showed enormous differences of suicide rates across jobs.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/these-jobs ... f-suicide/

Occupation and Suicide
Data are from the national mortality file tapes, which cover 21 states. They refer to 9,499 suicides and 134,386 deaths from all other causes in 1990. Results. Bivariate logistic regression models find a total of 15 occupations with either significantly higher (e.g., dentists, artists, machinists, auto mechanics, and carpenters) or lower (e.g., clerks, elementary school teachers, cooks) risk than the rest of the working-age population.https://www.jstor.org/stable/42955727?s ... b_contents

So when a lumberjack says "I'm okay", he's probably lying.

If he's wearing high heels and stockings, suspenders and a bra, then he's probably okay.

To be fair if I was a mechanic in the USA working on American cars I'd be suicidal.

I believe the term is (terrorist) not muslim terrorist, what an offence and hatred. Stop offending whole religion over some radical individuals. Go ahead and blame the Christians armies (U.S) armies for going to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and killing 100s of people each day since we blaming religion groups here or the poor rohinga muslim people whos being killed, and burned for no real reason oh wait! who cares about them they not important. Such bulshit in this world damn it. Muslims are suffering enough, I certainly have had it with such comments with people like u😖
Hi Faizaomer, Are you in Somalia?
