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.

Suspect arrested for shooting cop in revenge case
14 May 2018
Police in Prey Veng province’s Ba Phnom district yesterday arrested a man accused of shooting a district police officer on Thursday, resulting in the cop’s hospitalisation.

Mr Chivi said that the suspect, Sou Seith, was motivated by revenge, but would not detail the history between the two men.

“The motive behind the shooting is revenge,” he said. “Revenge for some problems that we should not talk about right now.” Mr Chivi noted that the suspect has been jailed in the past.

“I can just tell you that the suspect and victim are not really friends at all,” he said. “According to our identification records, the suspect is a former prisoner and was just released from prison a month ago.”

“We don’t have much information from the victim, who is being treated at the hospital,” he added.
