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.

When police wanted to inform the victim's family of his demise, they learnt that his wife and children had left him and were living in Thailand. The wife had stopped sending him money, he had no job, and was homeless. He was taken in at the local pagoda, but was thrown out for behaving badly. After this, he was talking about suicide, and it is believed that he decided to put an end to his days by throwing himself in the river to drown.
