Yeah, truly bizarre. I reckon either they were high on some crazy shit, or some huge altercation broke out which resulted in the unfortunate outcome. I find it really doubtful that grand theft auto was the motive.Felgerkarb wrote:All the circumstances around this homicide are very strange.

They planned to steal the car and start a crime spree? Seems like an ICE bender

Re: Two Japanese Stab Taxi Driver to Death to Steal Car
It's a strange case, but it all happened in a populated area and was observed. Probably just two more disturbed kids who watched too much hentai and never developed normal relationships. It would be interesting to find out what the Japanese press is saying about this, if anything. They might have some background on it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

From Japanese News, NHK World-Japan:
Two Japanese men arrested for murder in Cambodia
Asia
6 hours ago
Police in Cambodia have arrested two Japanese men on suspicion of killing the driver of a car that they hired in the country's northwest.
The suspects have been identified as Reimon Ishida and Ryuji Nakakuki, both 23 years old.
Police say the two men allegedly stabbed the driver to death on their way from a Thai border town to the popular tourist spot of Siem Reap on Sunday.
Investigators say the suspects abandoned the victim's body by the road and stole the car. But they almost immediately collided with a tractor, hit a roadside building and came to a halt. Police officers rushed to the scene and captured the suspects.
The two men had crossed the border from Thailand into Cambodia on Saturday.
They reportedly admit to the allegations, saying they are in debt in Japan and need money.
Police quote them as saying they stole the car to carry out robberies or with a plan to sell it for cash.

Re: Two Japanese Stab Taxi Driver to Death to Steal Car
You do realize it was two perps committing the crime simultaneously?
I guess these two are the exception from the rule (that Japanese who aren't Yakuza usually do not commit (violent) crimes). And what a stupid pointless crime it was! That they are both from Fukushima is the icing on this sad cake.

Re: Two Japanese Nationals Arrested for Murdering Taxi Driver in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Cambodia: Japanese nationals accused of murdering Siem Reap taxi driver
By Tokyo Reporter Staff on March 19, 2019
CAMBODIA (TR) – Local police on Sunday arrested two male Japanese nationals over the alleged robbery and murder of a taxi driver in Siem Reap Province, located in the northern part of the country, reports Khmer Times (Mar. 19).
According to police, Reimon Ishida, a 23-year-old former member of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces, and Ryuji Nakakuki, also 23, worked together to fatally stab 40-year-old Him Chan [Hoem Chan] on a national highway in the Puok district of the city of Siem Reap and rob him at around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Ishida and Nakkuki then stole Chan’s taxi but crashed it shortly thereafter. Upon their arrest later that day, the suspects admitted to the allegations, telling police they committed the crime to cover a debt of around 4 million yen. The suspects also said that they planned to use the vehicle to commit more crimes.
Ishida, a native of Chiba Prefecture, and Nakakuki, from Fukushima Prefecture, crossed into Cambodia at the city of Poipet from Thailand the day before the crime took place.
On the morning of the crime, they hired Him, a father of four from Siem Reap, to take them to the UNESCO-recognized Angkor Wat Temple. At around 4:30 p.m., they directed the victim to a market in Puok.
“When the victim stopped the car, they both caught him and Mr. Nakakuki slashed his throat with a vegetable knife, causing him to die instantly,” said Muth Bunsoeun, the deputy chief of police of Puok, according to the Khmer Times.
The deputy chief added that the suspects stole property belonging to Him and dumped his body. Ishida then jumped behind the wheel of the taxi and the pair sped off.
However, Ishida quickly rear-ended a truck, causing the taxi to halt about 300 meters away from where the stabbing took place. The suspects tried to flee on foot but officers arriving at the scene apprehended them.
Two other men were seriously hurt in the accident.
