Australian Female Kristy Anne Blackney Found Dead in Kampot River By Owner of Arcadia Backpackers

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.

Did the Arcadia owner tell you when was the last time she was seen and what she was doing and what her condition was? And who wrote on her leg and when and why?

Bit difficult to ask questions when no-ones listening/speaking.

A tragic & needless death

Can only hope some backpackers read about it & take care on their own travels

The family members at least had an awkward meeting with the owner, I'm curious if they got any answers at all.

Just to update Kristy Blackney's GoFundMe activity...

They managed to raise over $27,000 in about 5 days.

Almost double the goal of $15,000.

Quite an expressive fundraising campaign.
