British Expat Held Hostage by his Cambodian Lover's Family in Phnom Penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The latest update from Luke about the ordeal:

"They weren't trying to run him down, just trying to follow him.

You're right of course though, if someone else's experience don't match your own then they're probably lying. Because we all know that everyone has exactly the same experiences in life, and they always match expectations, and organised crime doesn't exist because it's 2018.

The opinions of all 10-15 people who listened to him last night were that he was telling the truth, this was backed up further by the fact that he didn't steal anything from my house, paid for his own ticket home and would have nothing at all to gain from lying. However, you should probably just rely on your own third hand speculation, that is based purely on what I just told you. That would be the most reasonable and intelligent thing to do in this situation.

What a fuckwit..'

Me and my friends at The Flicks believed him so you’re a fuckwit if you don’t.

Got to love a good old ad populum. How many believed Jewsbury?

I’m so convinced right now.

Someone who identified themselves as 'Frank Willing' has reached out to CEO, saying they want this topic deleted, as it puts him and his family in danger. I tried to get him to explain how this discussion puts him or his family in danger, but he hasn't come up with anything logical.

Seems a bit paranoid, to say the least. He also said he made it back home and is safe with his family.

WTF?

Just checked the ELLPP Facebook group and the thread’s not there. Guess it was taken down ?

Happy to hear that the jury of straight thinking acquitted him. All the reasons you stated are not only irrelevant, but feeble.
