He may be able to buy his way out or buy bail. Maybe he deserves it but do you really want to get involved with a bunch of corrupt scammers who's only intetest will be getting money from you when the realize you are a barang as well? My advice is to avoid the police, it will be very expensive and there won't be a fair trial. Find a way to get justice instead.
My advice is to avoid stabbing people.
Good advice but you don't have to stab someone in Cambodia to be accused of it and do the time. You only have to be accused. Seems this case is genuine but the police won't care about that.
Is that a common occurrence? I've been here for a while now, me along with everyone I know have never been accused of stabbing anyone
I wouldn't say it's common. anyone can accuse anyone of anything. Im quite familiar with the system. I know someone who is up for trial after exactly this happened. Easy enough to prove it didn't happen but none of his lawyers want to fight it that way. They say just plead guilty. When asked why they won't fight the case based on evidence they say because Cambodia is corrupt. Oddly enough the investigative judge asked for the charge to be dropped but made no difference. But don't take my word for it. I'm a 172 meth head and an ex army guy told me this story in a bar. Just saying. Don't expect the police or lawyers not to extort you once they have your case. I personally wouldn't risk it.

The accused stabber is Colombian, not from Seattle.



No idea if he actually did what he's accused of in the OP, mind
