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.

Chhim Thyda, President of Phnom Penh Municipal Prison confirmed that Korean man YOUL PARK, who was jailed for the crime of pedophilia with a child under 15 years old, has died at the age of 65 years old.

Thanks doc.
Reported by CEO in 2017: The deceased YOUL PARK was a South Korean Christian pastor who preyed on young girls in his congregation in Siem Reap. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison for multiple child sex abuses against minors over several years.

Probably on a par with being fiddled with as an underage girl by someone claiming to represent the Lord Almighty himself so, y'know...swings and roundabouts...

thanks for the info. What a terrible cliche. I hope he died in pain and too bad he didn't serve more time before he kicked the bucket.
