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.

Word on the street is it was a dispute over the family home. Parents had died and the kids were arguing about money. One of the siblings started the fire.
When the house was burning he realized his wife and baby were inside - he caught alight when he ran in to save them.

Don't believe it. I think he ran it to rescue the contract from a Chinese guy who offered him $500,000 for the empty lot. :stir:
