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.

Seeing the pictures he looks to be a very tall man. Reading he was not more than 173cm, he can't be more than 50 kilos. R.I.P.

Authorities say the body, which is still unidentified, was a male foreigner, 1.73 meters tall and had no documents attached.

According to the testimony of eye-witness Sin Puth, male, Khmer, born in 1979, occupation: guesthouse staff, "On May 14, 2021, at 8:20 pm, I was sitting in front of House 7C, Street 258. In Village 1, Sangkat Chaktomuk, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh, when an unknown foreign man walked in front of the guesthouse and asked me if his friend was staying there. I told him "No, he is not. Because my guesthouse is not open." So the foreigner walked away, and it was not until 6 am on May 15, 2021 that I saw the same foreigner who met me that night lying dead in front of House 7A, Street 258, Village 1, Sangkat Chaktomuk, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh."

At least he didn't burden his landlord or maid with discovering his dead body, unlike so many others. RIP.

Unconfirmed: I hear from a possible associate that the deceased might be Russian and that his first name might start with V and may be spelled Vova. All UNCONFIRMED, and only posting to help this along, no malice intended if these parts listed are incorrect. RIP.
