Body Found Weighed Down with Rocks in Mysterious Circumstances
Tbong Khmum: On the morning of November 9, 2018, the body of an unidentified man, aged around 40 with two conspicuous dragon tattoos on his right arm, was found in a stream near Prek Poy village, Koki commune, Memot district,Tbong Khmum.
Police estimate that the victim had been dead for at least 7 to 8 days, and they immediately suspected foul play because the body was weighed down with 7 stones to hold it underwater. After further investigation, police found injuries on the corpse which they say were made prior to the man being dumped into the river.
For the moment, all indications suggest that the murder was committed elsewhere, with the body being removed after the crime, possibly by car, to be disposed of in the river. It may have been a planned execution. There were no signs of a struggle or clues on the riverbank, not surprising if the crime was committed a week ago or more.
Tbong Khmum police are looking for suspects, and also any witnesses or relatives who may be able to identify the deceased.

If you find a body in the water with rocks on it I don't think there is really any mystery

Re: Body Found Weighed Down with Rocks in Mysterious Circumstances
The real mystery is identifying the victim, cause of death, and who wanted him dead and why. If the local boys in blue solve his, I’d have to rethink everything I’ve thought about Khmer cops.

If the boys in blue solve this, they should be given a promotion from being traffic cops to homicide squad.
