Owner of Alamo Cafe Admits to Murder & Shows Police Where She Dumped the Body Parts in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (Sentenced)

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.

If that's the case then she had to have turned the place into an abattoir, meaning there is even less chance of the others in the place having no knowledge of the murder and subsequent butchering.

She specifically stated she froze the body to enable post mortem butchery causing a mess. As it transpired, she said, she had to do a partial thaw to do it. Either way, something doesn't add up.
But they had Cambodia's answer to Chips on the case!

To me it seems the most feasible way she could have put the body in the freezer by herself. Otherwise I agree there are definite issues with the whole story.

Dunno but that is one (risky) way to wear your work badge. Quite the fashion statement

if she chopped up the body straight after killing her, whilst the heart would have stopped pumping blood around the body, the blood would not have yet clotted (takes about 10hours) so there would still be a fair bit of blood that would leak out from the dismembered body
