Cambodia News (Kampong Thom): On 12 January 2022, in Chambok village, Kampong Thom province, residents were shocked by the news that a local man had killed himself, after cutting his wife and causing her serious injuries. The man was identified as 36 years old Khuth Chhunly, who lived in the village where the incident took place, and the couple had two daughters.

Minh Lot, the father-in-law of the deceased, said he did not know what happened between the couple on the evening of 11 January 2022, but at 7pm, he heard that Khuth Chhunly had slashed his daughter, Srey Leak, while both were at home. Upon hearing this, Minh Lot ran to see Srey Leak, who was seriously injured, so he rushed her to a hospital in Phnom Penh. In the meantime, Khuth Chhunly ran away, and it was not until the morning of 12 January 2022 that Chhunly was found dead under an acacia tree.

The provincial technical police force, in cooperation with the local authorities, inspected the man's body. The corpse had a small hemorrhage from the right eye, with a white scar. On the body, there were light skin scratches on the back, on the torso, and the right forearm, which were presumably caused by the fall from the tree. Other than that, there are no noticeable scars.

It is speculated that Chhunly hung himself, after slashing his wife with a knife because of jealousy. After examination, the body of the deceased was handed over to relatives for a funeral.

At least he didn't kill anybody or burn the family home down

Hope the lady makes a full recovery from her injuries
