23Yo Man Commits Suicide After Stabbing his Highschool Sweetheart

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On August 28, 2020, a 25-year-old woman, a worker at Minebea factory, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend while she was driving a motorbike to work, in Sangkat Kantrok, Khan Kambol, Phnom Penh. After killing the victim, the suspect, Chhorn Limtich, 23 years old, committed suicide by hanging himself at Soun Pich pagoda.

A day earlier, the suspect went to propose to his ex-girlfriend, but he was rejected. She didn't want to marry him even though they had been dating in high school, but that was all over and finished for her, because they broke up a half year ago when the suspect cheated on her. The girl didn't want to know him anymore.

The victim's mother said last night, the suspect messaged to her daughter about the proposal, but her daughter rejected it. So the two argued with each other on social message apps. Tragically, this morning, on August 28, at 7:50 am, her daughter was stabbed to death by her ex-boyfriend.

The mother reported the events to police, but after the murder the suspect went to hang himself to death in Soun Pich pagoda. The local people found his body, so they called the police.

There's something about Khmer society that dictates the most drastic action possible must be taken in order to resolve a problem. Whether its throwing yourself off of a roof during a heated, but relatively minor debate or killing (or having someone killed) for the most minor perceived injustice against you.

Emotions run very, very high here.

RIP to the woman.

A lot of Khmer music can make country & western seem up lifting.
Tragic

They are always right, and have to win. When they don't win, they do something drastic, like kill the other person or themselves, so they still win. But we can see, a dead person does not win.

A double-win if you kill the one who has your eye. What an absolute shit show and condolences to the young girl’s family. What a drastic set of circumstances. RIP young lady :(

Yep, that'd be out of line. That fuck needs to have fire ants smothered in habanero sauce brushed over his entire body, even if already dead.

R.I.S. rather, rest in strife. That cowardly self entitled pos deserves nothing short of a drunken piss on his grave.

And the family doesn’t skate either. They undoubtedly brought him up a pampered little prince, indulging his every whim, letting him believe he was entitled to anything he wanted.

I’ll save my tears for the innocent girl & her devastated family.
she was quite pretty and looked older
she knew only what had been told her

Parents aren't to be blamed for thier children's actions. You going to put the blame on your parents for everything you do?
