Man Arrested for Attempted Acid Attack on Ex-Wife

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: A 51-year-old Vietnamese man, named Sung, was arrested for trying to throw acid on his ex-wife at 1:30 am on September 17, 2018, near "YES" KTV, in Phnom Penh.

The victim reported that she and the suspect had split up about a year ago, but her husband was still angry. According to the woman, her ex-husband had previously attempted to throw acid on her in a drive-by motorcycle attack, at 07:30 pm on September 4, 2018. However, she jumped back in time and the attack failed.
Then, a few weeks later, at 1:30 am on September 19, the woman got a call from a friend warning that her husband was waiting near the KTV to throw acid on her again. She called her brother, who went to check around the KTV, and he saw the suspect was there waiting for his sister. So he called her, and she reported to the police that she was in danger.

The police went to the scene to question the suspect and when they searched him, they found a bottle of acid. The suspect confessed that he had bought acid from the battery shop in order to threaten his wife.
