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.

Before the incident, the suspect was driving a Camry car, plate no.PP2AB-7691, down street 271 when he was stopped by the traffic police for questioning. Suddenly, the suspect got out of the car and began screaming and attacked the police officer and nearby people, until his wife managed to calm him down.

The suspect's family said that the man was a drug addict, and they have requested that the police keep him in detention and send him to a drug rehabilitation center.

They might want to find out what's in his blood stream... and send him to court before.
You could be next.
