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.

That's an insult to Sergeants.

Sergeants actually lead men and women.

I'd equate a Cambodian 1 star general to a recently busted down Private, currently on latrine duty.
Whoa his rank was Sergeant. Thats equivalent to shoe shine boy in the US military.

The military officer named Soeun Kan, 55, rank of Sergeant No. 070462, had shot and killed his wife and shot another officer's wife before fleeing with an aka gun, and all police were warned that the man on the run was armed and dangerous. When the killer realized that he was surrounded with no way out, he had a heart attack.
Fixed that for you.

UPDATE

Some sources have reported that the killer, Soeun Kan, was shot by police in a shoot-out, but it has been confirmed that the man took his own life, after he was surrounded and attempted to shoot his way out.

The origin of the murders was reportedly the officer's jealous quarrel with his wife, which became violent, and when the other woman tried to intervene, he shot both women dead.
