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.

Huge angry mob kill suspected moto-thief.

Post by Anchor Moy »

Mob rule. Right guy or wrong guy, horrifying stuff.
A man was killed by an angry mob after being suspected of stealing a woman’s motorbike in Kampong Speu province’s Kong Pisei district on Sunday night, police said.

Deputy provincial police chief Som Bora said yesterday that victim Meng Chhoeun, 37, was beaten and hacked to death by a group of locals.

“His face was beaten so severely it was hard to confirm his identity,” Bora said.

...According to a police official who declined to be named, “hundreds of them ran out from their houses to catch them”. ..


However, Bora, the deputy provincial police chief, said Chhoeun’s wife had confirmed he was a reporter, and questioned why he would be stealing motorbikes.
“She told us that her family isn’t really poor because her husband has a car,” he said.

Australian elections coming up later this year,,, I'm all 100% for mob justice.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Mob killing in Cambodia. Good article from PPP:
A year ago, a mentally ill man was beaten to death by villagers who had mistaken him for a thief. Despite only four of those involved being sentenced, it was a harsher punishment than expected – in almost all instances of mob killings, no questions are even asked ...
Sera knows that he was unlucky that his victim turned out to be innocent. If he had been guilty, precedent suggests that the incident would have been forgotten. “If the dead guy was a thief, he should have be killed,” he said. It’s a sentiment that is widely shared...
