Police in Prey Veng province say a man was beaten to death by a mob on Tuesday after he allegedly attempted to rape a 32-year old woman.
The body of Uong Tith, 22, was found with lacerations and head wounds in a paddy field in Mesang district’s Chres commune yesterday, according to provincial deputy police chief Poy Chivy, who added that forensic police concluded the killing blow had been landed by a blunt object.

“[We know] the man was beaten to death because his head was badly hacked and beaten. Now, we are investigating this case to find the suspects,” Chivy said.

Chivy said Tith was interrupted during his alleged rape attempt when the victim screamed, prompting her brother-in-law to rush to the house with a wooden stick. Chivy said district police told him the victim’s husband was away working in Thailand.

Tith allegedly repelled the brother-in-law, injuring him seriously enough for him to be sent to the district referral hospital. Tith then fled, unaware he was being followed by an angry mob, Chivy said...

good

I will agree that rape is a horrific crime, but being unsuccessful at it and still being murdered for it has to be far worse. Perhaps some NGO's can pass out mirrors to these villagers.

tbh i agree with donkey, Attempted rape is only worthy of a beating, unless it was an attempted rape of a child

Five villagers in Prey Veng’s Mesang district are on the run after being called for questioning by police on suspicion of having participated in the killing of Uong Tith, 22, who was beaten to death by a mob on Tuesday after allegedly attempting to rape a 32-year-old woman.
