UPDATE
Shooting was due to unpaid debt between Taiwanese
Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): A Taiwanese Chinese man was sent to court by the Phnom Penh Military Police on the morning of October 31, 2022, following a shooting incident at 23:30 on October 27, 2022, in front of "Vida Vida" car repair garage, house No. 452, Street 456, located in Sangkat Toul Tompong 1, Khan Chamkar Mon, Phnom Penh.
Image
The suspect is HSIEH HO TING, a 37-year-old Taiwanese businessman living in a condominium in Khan 7 Makara, Phnom Penh. The representative of the Prosecutor's Office of the Court of First Instance opened an investigation into the illegal possession of a firearm.
According to the suspect's answer, which the police submitted to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court: "Before the incident, he (HSIEH HO TING) went to collect money from a Taiwanese 'friend', a car repair worker at Vida Vida garage, who borrowed $US15K from him about 4 months ago.
Image
That evening, the suspect went to the garage to discuss the debt, but the friend refused to leave with him, so he pulled out the gun and fired it 6 times into the sky as a threat.
Thre Taiwanese suspect told police that he only had the pistol in his possession because a friend left it with him for safe-keeping while he was away.
After the incident, local police arrived in Chamkar Mon district and arrested the suspect, confiscating 1 short, black GLOCK 30 handgun and six bullets.
