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.

Cambodia News (Thbong Khmom Province): On July 19, 2021, a 5-year-old boy was reported missing in O'Rang district, Tbong Khmum, and on July 20, the body was found in a morning glory swamp. According to the autopsy report from the CPU (Child Protection Unit) and the local authorities, many bruises were found on the victim's body and he died from drowning.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder. After the police interrogation, the suspect confessed that he had beaten the boy before tossing him into the swamp out of rage, because the 5-year-old cursed him out.

The suspect is being held in custody on charges of murder with intention.

I think, as Covid rages on and the world has suddenly become engulfed in either livelihood destroying floods, out of control wildfires, or just a very strong sense that we've already entered a particularly nasty stage in world history, my sensitivities to life in general are waning fast. Of course this is a shocking story of a very young boy who has clearly been murdered in a horrific way, but if I'm 100% honest with myself, it just doesn't have the same shock value that a story like this would have had just a couple of years ago. It just reads like yet another pointless death amongst many.

I'm aware what a horribly insensitive thing that is to say.

RIP to the poor boy.
