Bringing Up the Bodies

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. 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. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): At 01:15 pm on August 28, 2021, the forensic experts of the Phnom Penh Municipal Police went to investigate a report of two bodies buried in separate pits at a hill in Kamrieng village, Sangkat Kantouk, Khan Kampol, Phnom Penh.

Police say that a local man first saw the remains of a skeleton, including a skull, some days ago, but had hesitated to report this to the authorities until now.
In this case, the competent experts concluded that there are 2 unidentified bodies which were buried separately, and the police went to dig them up in order to perform a post mortem examination to discover the cause of death and their identities.
The investigation is on-going.

This story reminds me of the TV show, Unforgotten. Well worth watching.
