Further information has been released: the three children were all girls, aged 16, 5, and 4 years old. The father, Chea Sok Chum, a 40 year old tuktuk driver, strangled his daughters before hanging himself with a krama.

The wife and mother was out at work in a factory when the event occurred. When she came home from work, she saw her husband's tuktuk was outside and she called to her daughters. Then she went inside to find the bodies, and called out for help to her sister-in-law who lives next door.
No motive has been suggested for the murder-suicide.
