Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. 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. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Breaking: Man headless body found on Phnom Penh train tracks
22 July 2019 | 17:24 ICT
A man's decapitated body was found in Phnom Penh's Kambol district on Monday after being run over by a train.

Police believe he had fallen asleep on the tracks of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville line.

Kambol district police chief Hang Monny on Monday identified the man as Ly Leap, a 37-year-old car mechanic from the district's Kantork commune.

Witnesses said Leap had been eating and drinking with friends on Sunday night until around 11:30pm, Monny told The Post.

He was later seen sitting on the railway tracks talking on his phone. His headless body was found the next morning in the same spot.

“According to witnesses and the nature of the bloodstains on the tracks, police have concluded the victim was drunk and fell asleep on the railway line, with a train then running him over,” Monny said.
