Man arrested for rape and murder of a 7yo girl in Kandal.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Another rape-murder suspect arrested. It's been a particularly nasty week for rapes and murders of women and children in Cambodia.

Arrest in Kandal rape-murder
7 August 2017
- A man has been arrested and is expected to be charged with aggravated murder after allegedly raping and killing a 7-year-old girl in Kandal province late last week.
Hang Chan Thea, 22, was arrested by Military Police and the Child Protection Unit in Kien Svay district’s Koki commune on Friday evening.

According to CPU Director James McCabe, Chan Thea was a neighbour of the young victim, and told police in his confession that he took her from her home on his bicycle at around 2pm last Tuesday to an abandoned compound, where he raped her. He then held her against her will for about six hours before strangling her to death and dumping her body at a nearby dam, according to the organisation.

Chan Thea confessed that he killed the victim “primarily out of fear he would be identified”, McCabe said.

The case is one of at least four rape or attempted rape cases reported by police on the weekend, an indication of the dangers that continue to face women and girls in the Kingdom, activists said.
“Even though we’ve worked a lot to raise awareness about violence against women, it’s sad that this issue is continuing,” said Ros Sopheap, the executive director of Gender and Development for Cambodia, adding that many women and girls continue to face shame for reporting sexual assaults...

I would have thought finding out why he killed her would come second to finding out why the fuck he did it in the first place. It all seems very vague as to the root cause of this problem and you can't fix it without clearly identifying motivational factors. Was it because he was poor? Is it because wanking is frowned upon? Is she from a lower status family? Or is he some kind of mong?

Sociopaths don't need reasons - they just do. With no sense of remorse or consequence.

It's more likely just another symptom of a false entitlement, selfishness, greed, savagery and all those other nasty parts of human psyche. If you check out these cases, and they are all too common, the murder is often committed because the rapist is scared of being identified. Usually because they know the person. Not so long back it was usual for the eyes of the victim to be destroyed as it was believed that the last thing they saw would be recorded within.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
