News and Legal Advice

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.

News and Legal Advice

Post by lostjeremy »

My father in law was murdered in Steung Meanchey just a few hours ago. The asshole who did it is a cop with a rich family. He wanted to sing a karaoke song, my father in law said he wasnt done yet... 3 shots.

Is there any legal representatives with higher up connections in town who can work with prosecutors to make sure this dip shit doesnt get off easy?

Edit News links....

Sure there are.

But really, media coverage and refusal of the deceased's family to accept compensation from the perps family is worth much more than. Link CEO to the news story and it will be a start.

I see it's been shared 810 times already.

And the perp oesn't look rich. Pretty sure he's going away - unless the deceased's family accept "compensation"

Up to them, I guess.

Remember the old saying dont judge a book by its cover...
His dad is a 4 star
His brother is a high ranking cop and multiple business owner.
The place this happened was in his brothers resturant.

Do you know how many four star generals there are? They're not that special anymore. Your best best is to get all Khmer Facebook savvy relatives to spread the word to the news outlets and especially get it shared on Facebook. Request cctv footage (unlikely) etc. Guys like that don't get off as easy as they once did. Good luck, I hope justice is served.

Sorry for your loss BUT
