Man Arrested for Cutting Off a Woman's Hand and Throwing Acid on Her

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.

That's nuts. Does 10 years mean 10yrs in Cambodia?
It's going to take some effort to cut off a hand with a knife. The mental state of someone who could actually go through with it surely makes them unfit to mix with everyday life? I wonder what state he'll be in after 10yrs of Cambodia prison, assuming he makes it to the end?

Maybe you can control guns but maniacs still find ways to murder and maim...
Knives, hatchets, machetes, cars, trucks...
Renting a truck for an afternoon and running people down on bridges where they have nowhere to escape to unless they jump.
Using rice and sugar cane tools are normal or a cleaver like every Khmer household has.
When the Samurai conquered the Ryukyu Islands they had swords..
They forbid the 'Okinawans' to have weapons.
The locals came up with empty hand techniques later called Karate in Japanese.
Simple farm tools were also included.
A brief study of Okinawan Martial Arts will show Katas containing various farm implements..
So, to say this is some crazy behavior brought on by the chinese plague has a bit of truth.
But, the kilos of Ice everywhere sure add to the chaos.
I do agree things will worsen.
china has caused a domino principle to flatten the World's economy.
The poor here already had it rough.
Toss in fishing jobs that generations of Khmer and Cham people held are gone forcing these skilled people to go to PP and drive a tuk tuk..
People taking out more and more loans and getting further in debt.
Some ICE just makes chopping off a limb or head as easy as killing a duck.
I think the entire World is becoming more dangerous.
2021 will probably be more brutal.
Paragraphs are cool. Way cool.
