18yo casino worker's body recovered 2 days after she went missing

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.

More details on this sordid rape-robbery-murder that was planned and executed by the two taxi drivers.
Sok Vuthy, deputy chief of the provincial major crime unit, said Mr Sopheap was arrested in the province. Mr Mony was arrested in Phnom Penh.

Mr Vuthy said the pair had confessed that on Wednesday of last week Sovann Sokmalin, who worked at the Good Luck Casino in Bavet district, was a passenger in Mr Sopheap’s Toyoto Highlander taxi travelling from Phnom Penh to Svay Rieng province.
Mr Mony was following with passengers in his taxi and the pair discussed the victim in phone calls. They plotted to rape her and steal her property.

On arrival in Svay Rieng province and after dropping off the other passengers, Mr Sopheap brought the victim to a quiet place in Bavet commune. Mr Mony was with them after parking his taxi.

They each raped Ms Sokmalin, strangled her and took her money and jewellery.
“After killing the victim, they tied her to a big rock and threw her body into a rice canal to destroy the evidence,” Mr Vuthy said.

Too lenient. One guy looks like he would thrive in Prey Sar. They needed to be waterboarded daily and hooked up to electricity by the teeth until they glow. Cambodia needs to give the death penalty to these animals.
