Khmerican Deportee and Tattooist SO KUSH Fatally Stabbed by Friend at There Be Dragons Bar in Battambang

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.

Exactly. Thank goodness that people can just STFU with stereotypes from time to time. Because it gets a bit much.

Sad story. Just too much alcohol and aggro ? RIP.

Most interestingly is that that it happened in a backpackers hostel thats the 4th death in a less than a month related to backpackers and the third stabbing related desth including the attack in home hostel QLD australia , the "drowning at arcadia , now a stabbing at here be dragons in Battambang......

My advise is stay the fuck away from backpackers hostels and backpackers in general.

The man who killed So Kush was his friend.

Sounds like a knife fight started in the Here Be Dragons Bar and was taken outside, where he was stabbed a few times and died.

He is a deportee from San Francisco, California, leaving behind a wife and kids in the US.

RIP.

So, it turns out that the guy who stabbed and killing So Kush actually works at Here Be Dragons Bar.

His name is Voe Ske, one of So Kush's "friends." He's recently deactivated his Facebook account.

He even runs the ping pong games and has drink specials named after him there:

So Kush and Voe Ske's mutual friend, Ry Up(Ry Invented II) was there that night and witnessed it, and he's also recently deactivated his Facebook account, probably to just keep a low profile right now while Voe Ske is running from police and Ry is getting hit up for info.

And Here Be Dragons Bar announced that they will be closed until further notice, which is probably a good idea, considering one of their staff members just killed someone there.

What a mess. RIP.

Tattoo Artist Stabbed in Battambang Bar Fight

by Phan Soumy | September 5, 2016

A Cambodian-American tattoo artist was stabbed to death by a friend during a drunken fight at a bar in Battambang City just after midnight on Sunday morning, police said.

The suspect, also a Cambodian-American, remains at large, according to city police chief Pang Heang, who said he remained unidentified.

Sek Sav­oeun, 35, was stabbed four times in the chest and torso at about 12:30 a.m. during a fight at Here Be Dragons bar, he said, speculating that the fight was due to “jealousy over a girl.”

Khouth Sophak Chakrya
Battambang town police are searching for a Cambodian-American man suspected of killing his friend at about 12:30am yesterday.

Pang Heang, Battambang town police chief, said yesterday afternoon that the suspect was described by the victim in his last words as “Vong”, 31, a Cambodian-American and friend of the victim.

“The victim was stabbed with a knife in four locations: in the breastbone, under the right breast, the right [side] of the waist and the stomach. The victim died after arriving at a private clinic in Battambang province,” Heang said.

We can't just to jump to conclusions of what happened what if the man was defending himself? After all all the deported American was sent back for a reason if everyone of them was a good person they wouldn't been sent back and for people calling the guy a killer and wasn't even there shouldn't be saying anything is a dog eat dog world and kill or be killed world and my heart go out to kush family but you have to find out the story before accused someone of murder because the other person might of did it out of his own defense. Still no matter what is a sad sad story smh
