Mentally Ill Man in Frenzy Attacks Family

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.

Cambodia News (Kampong Thom): On April 2, 2020, at 6 pm, a mentally ill man, Sath Nou, 31 years old, was arrested after he attacked three members of the same family, killing one person and injuring two others, in Strong district, Kampong Thom. The victims were identified as Ren Sai, a 60-year-old man, deceased, Leng Lim, a 28-year-old man, seriously injured, and Sai Nai, a 31-year-old woman, also injured.

The suspect has reportedly had a mental illness for many years, suffering from sporadic outbreaks of violence, and from 2019-2020 his parents sent him away to get treatment. He came home and took medicine every day, and he seemed to become calmer.

However, on the day of the attack, he went to the victim's house where he attacked and killed him. The victim's son-in-law and his daughter tried to save the old man, but they were also attacked by the suspect who was out of control.
In the end, the local people and the patrolmen managed to subdue the man and tie him up. The two injured victims were sent to the hospital and the body of the deceased was given over to the family for funeral rites.

The suspect was sent to the police station to follow the legal action.

“Attacked”? How? With what? Judging from the wounds I assume some kind of blade?
Also what’s with the pixellation in the middle of his body? Was that to cover a wound?
If you’re gonna put it under a spoiler alert, why pixellate? Let the reader decide to look or pass.

The spoiler is there so you can look or not. Not everyone wants to look at wounded people over breakfast.
The pixelating is the product of Khmer news, and reasons why they decide to pixel this or that remain an eternal mystery of the Kingdom of Wonder Why . A recent article pixelated the head of a baby dolphin that was found dead. Some things can not be explained.
