Brutal beating at the Russian Market

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.

Brutal beating at the Russian Market

Post by Nixon »

A couple of hours ago a domestic argument turned very violent. Two guys attacked the man in the argument with some kind of crowbar and a motorcycle helmet causing severe head injuries.

Police turned up with AK47 along with the ambulance.

Never seen violence like that before. I am sure other people have photos, I will not post any.

Morticia hasn't heard anything through the Khmer grapevine? Send her to the market, she'll be back with all the gory details.

One of the reasons I left Phnom Penh. Witnessed what looked like a mob justice murder on the riverside, two machete attacks on St. 51, and numerous savage beatings back in the day.
