Koh Kong Man Fires a Gun, Hits a Phone, and Starts a Fire

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 (Koh Kong Province): On June 1, 2022, at 8:30 pm, a 39-year-old man, Yet Rin, working as a boat merchant used his illegal handgun to shoot into Eourn Sam Ol's room in front of a rental house in Cham Yeam village, Koh Kong.
The gunshot landed on the victim's phone causing it to explode and erupt into flames, and the resulting fire burnt his savings of 30k riels and 100$. After causing the damage, the suspect fled the scene.

On June 2, the police tracked down and arrested the suspect at a fishing port in Neag Kok village, Pak Klong commune, Mondol Seima district. The suspect refused to cooperate or answer questions, but then at 4:00 pm on the same day, a hidden K54 handgun (20005095) loaded with 4 bullets was found by police.
The suspect and the evidence were taken to the police station for further investigation.

Crazy story. I used to think a phone could possibly stop a bullet but the battery exploding is a bit of an issue.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Good thing they pixelated his face in pic #1, but not in the pic of his ID card. (maybe the first pic looked like a Japanese vagina)

Listen, here at CEO News, we have stopped asking why some faces or handcuffs or objects are pixelated in Khmer news outlets. They are like that because they are like that, and WTF, are you expecting logic or something ?
