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.

Firearm discovered abandoned in rice field

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

TAKEO - A 56 year old rice farmer made a strange discovery on January 24, 2018, at 14:15 pm in a rice field in Toul Taing Village, Kavu Commune, Samrong District, Takeo Province. He was walking through his field when he saw a glint of metal, and when he took a closer look he saw it was a pistol.

The pistol was retrieved by the farmer and handed over to police for inspection. For the moment, there is no clue as to how the pistol turned up in a rice field in the middle of nowhere.

Nothing unusual here. Often read of pistols fired into the air.,,,,, this is where it landed ,, in a rice field.

And the M-16s, pieces of shit, they jammed more often than session musicians on meth.
