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.

Corpse of Murdered Woman Found by Phnom Penh Landlord

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On 6 December 2022, a woman was found dead by her landlord when he went to the house to record the water and electricity meter readings at 2:00 pm in a rented room in Khan Dangkor, Phnom Penh.

The victim has not yet been officially identified, but according to the landlord, the victim was a 27 years old woman with a fair complexion. She had only rented the apartment for the past three days, but there was a middle-aged man who visited her, who is now suspected of being her secret lover (and therefore, a prime suspect in her murder.)

When the landlord came to record the water and electricity meter readings atb the woman's room, he saw the victim's door was locked from the outside, and there was a horrible stench coming from inside the rented room. The landlord then went to look through the window, where he saw the victim lying dead on the bed covered with a blanket.

Shocked, the landlord reported the discovery to the local authorities, who immediately came to the scene with police and forensic officers to investigate and examine the body of the woman. Police are investigating the woman's death as a probable homicide case.

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On 9 December 2022, a suspect was arrested by the police in connection with a murder of a woman by suffocation, committed on December 6, 2022, at Room 1, Prey Veng East Village, Sangkat Prey Veng, Khan Dangkor, Phnom Penh.

Colonel Chim Sitha, Dangkor District Police Inspector, said that the police had been hunting for the man, who was arrested at the intersection of National Road No. 5, Prak Kdar Village, Vihear Luong Commune, Ponhea Leu District, Kandal Province. He has been brought in for interrogation.

The suspect, Kim Sam An, and the victim, his wife Kang Kea, came to see Chea Bunthoeun, the landlord, and told him that they were friends of Thach Khlok who had booked a room for them on 26 November 2022, and Chea Bunthoeun asked the suspect and the victim to stay in Room 1 in Prey Veng Keut Village.
Then, on 3 December 2022, at 4:00am, the suspect rode his motorcycle out of the rented room and did not return. The landlord went to read the water meter at the rented room later that day, and noticed that the room which the couple stayed in was locked from the outside, and that there was a bad smell coming from inside the room. Chea Bunthoeun had a bad feeling, and he called the Prey Veng Administrative Police Station.
When police arrived, they broke the lock of the room and entered to find victim lying dead covered with a blanket. The autopsy showed that the victim had died from suffocation.

Pretty good work catching the guy so quickly though.
