Cop jailed for shooting wife’s same-sex lover
Kampot Provincial Court yesterday charged and jailed a district police officer accused of shooting and injuring his wife’s female lover.

Major So Vuththoeun, deputy chief of Toek Chhou district police, identified the accused as Second Lieutenant Hok Cheng, chief of the district penal department.

Maj Vuththoeun identified the victim as Lay Ly, a beverage vendor from the same district.
He said Sec Lt Cheng has been charged with attempted murder. If convicted, the accused could be jailed for up to 15 years.

According Maj Vuththoeun, on Monday at about 12.30pm Ms Ly and was travelling with the wife of the accused on a motorbike in Mak Prang commune when they were spotted by Sec Lt Cheng.

The sighting prompted Sec Lt Cheng to suspect that his wife was having an affair with another woman and followed the two to a guesthouse in Kampot city.

“Sec Lt Cheng chased the victim, stopped her, pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired two bullets at the victim,” Maj Vuththoeun said. “One bullet hit her right knee, causing a serious injury.”

Through and through injury. Entrance and exit wound. Holes seem kinda small. Maybe not 9 mm. .22 caliber or .380 maybe?

I wouldn't be so sure about 'through and through', as the slug would have hit and broken bone and prolly fragmented. Might be right about calibre though.
