Taxi Driver’s Body Found Floating in Kampot Pond

The body of 28-year-old Khin Ny was found at about 7 a.m. near O’Krasar bridge in Toek Chhou district, the apparent victim of a robbery and murder, according to dep­uty provincial police chief Sao Sam Oeun.

Khin Ny’s car, a Toyota Cam­ry, was missing from the scene and a police examination revealed that his teeth had been broken, Mr. Sam Oeun said...

Surprise! The taxi driver is alive. Police found him by tracing his phone. While his family were holding his funeral ceremony, he was having an affair with a massage worker. He was too ashamed to go home, because he was not robbed, but lost the car and his money gambling.

Stay tuned to find out who the body in the car belongs to.

Which family member(s) wrongly identified the body in the pond?

Is there still more to this odd tale?

Update: The confusion over the identity of the body continues. The taxi-driver doesn't seem to be a murder suspect, as he was ''educated'' and sent home.
It is still a mystery why relatives identified the dead body as the taxi driver; but, the body was found after being in water for several days, and the women were expecting to see their brother.
It is more troubling that they say they recognized his clothes - in that case, if there was a body dressed in his clothes, the taxi-driver becomes very suspect. If the body was given funeral rites, we can probably assume it was cremated. Maybe the whole family was in on the disposal of the body and knew the whole time ?
Seems a bit far-fetched, but who knows. A case for Cambodia's finest detectives.
Spoiler:

Relatives identified the body as Khim Ny, 28, who carried passengers between Kampot and Phnom Penh.

Teuk Chhou district police secretary Chhun Chhorn said the body had been disposed of in water.

District and provincial police had arrived at the scene. About 30 minutes later, the provincial police chief also came and checked the body to identify it.

“Then two women arrived and claimed that the body was their brother,” Mr. Chhorn said.

The women said they had called Mr. Ny, but he had not answered his phone for the first two days and the line was completely cut off on the third day.

They offered proof that it was their brother from the clothes and they claimed his body which police delivered to them for the funeral...

It's not a troll. A lot of new members are trying to make 20 postings as quickly as possible today so that they can join the darknet and see the thread on the two dead girls in kampot.
