Khmer bosses can be tough, but murdering tough is way over the line.

There's not much information here, but as wild speculation, I'd say that the owner thought that the guy (victim) was stealing from him.
I don't know anything at all about this case, but if you go out after dark in a plantation, armed with a loaded pistol, then you are looking for something.
