The Kandal provincial court on Friday placed a woman in pre-trial detention after she was arrested for strangling a money lender to death in Kandal Stung district’s Roka commune before she fled to Kampong Thom province.

Provincial court spokesman So Sarin said 36-year-old Sok Chantha was charged with pre-meditated murder. She faces life imprisonment if found guilty.

“Investigating Judge Pich Maren charged her under Article 200 of the Criminal Code,” he said.

Deputy Kandal provincial police chief Roeun Nara said police arrested Chantha and seized $632 along with jewellery belonging to the victim as evidence. Chantha confessed a huge debt prompted her to commit the murder. She strangled the victim with netting from a hammock before fleeing the scene with her belongings.

"Crime? What crime? ... That I killed a vile noxious insect, an old pawnbroker woman, of use to no one! ... Killing her was atonement for forty sins. She was sucking the life out of poor people. Was that a crime?"

After the arrest, the murderer confessed that she owed money to the deceased and she couldn't pay it back. So, she took some wire with her as a murder weapon and went to the victim's house as if on a friendly call, and they watched TV together.
Later on, when the victim went to lie down in a hammock, the murderer saw her chance. The victim was trapped in the hammock, but fought off the attack from Sok Chantha, and there was a long struggle until the victim was strangled to death.
