Thief robs a lotion lady and kills husband

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.

Thief robs a lotion lady and kills husband

Seen by missus on Facebook.
Probably deleted by now.

Apparently a mentally deranged thief drove his moto and then snuck into a famous lotion lady’s house intending to rob her from 8 am - 10 am. He wore a moto helmet with face shield and wielded a gun. The house was full of family (10 people). He surprised and rounded them up one by one. Then he demanded 200,000 from the lotion lady. The lady said she didn’t have that kind of money. So he made the kid open the safe deposit box. Box was empty. Lotion lady said she could get it from the bank. So the thief let her call the bank and get the money. He warned her if she called the police, he would kill the entire family.

Lotion lady had invested everything into the business and didn’t have that kind of money in the bank. She called another lotion lady friend and told the story and asked her to loan her the money. Her friend presumably called the police. The police sent 4 armored vehicles full of police, and parked outside the house to watch and wait. She then returned home.

In the meantime, her husband fought the thief and barricaded himself in the bathroom. Thief shot through the door multiple times and killed the husband. When the lotion lady returned home, the thief apologized for killing the husband. He had only intended to get money, not hurt anyone. He put a white cloth over the husband’s body, and went outside. A final loud boom was heard. Family scattered.

One lady jumped out a window and impaled herself from the bottom of the jaw through the tongue.

Apparently the thief committed suicide.

I heard the same story yesterday, and it differs significantly from yours.

Perhaps yours is the Holywood adaptation? Or maybe I wasn't paying attention when I was told it.

If you attached a link then we'd know for sure...

I miss CEONEWS.

Now we have KNOB's missus' Facebook sensationalised offerings - by proxy.

Whatever happened to our steady stream of breaking news: cars v dividers; condo divers; man burns down his own house etc?
