British Tourist FIONA CHILDS Attacked by Water Buffalo on Koh Rong Island

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.

Awww, Fiona Childs has a heart of gold:

"A BRITISH woman gored by a rogue water buffalo on a Cambodian island has said she does not want the animal to "come to any harm". Fiona Childs was on holiday on Koh Rong Samloem when she was attacked on Tuesday."

That's very compassionate of her to say, considering she's on the mainland by now and unlikely to ever be back or even see another water-buffalo. Meanwhile the rogue animal could easily attack or kill anyone else.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I would have been eating buffalo burgers for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next straight month.

What is the nationality of the rogue water buffalo?

Did it come from Vietnam?

Or is it a khmer rogue water buffalo?
