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.

Cambodia News (Siem Reap): On December 11, 2019, at 8:30 pm, a teenager and a young man suffered electrical shocks at a wedding party in Khna Chor village, Krolanh district, Siem Reap. The victims were identified as Yang Yoth, a 13-year-old boy, who died at the scene, and Thou Vannthong, a 24-year-old man, who was seriously injured.

Before the incident, the victims were preparing the loud speakers at the wedding party at the house of a man named Hay Yath, the father of the groom. The teenage victim was carrying a steel tube which hit an electric wire that caused the victim to get a fatal shock. The autopsy confirmed that the victim died from the electric shock.

The body was returned to the family for funeral preparation, and the other victim was sent to the hospital.
