18yo casino worker's body recovered 2 days after she went missing

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

4 August 2017.
This tragic tale, which began with a missing person report, was concluded today.
At 5:15pm today, (4 August), a small boy who was herding cattle, discovered the floating body of the missing 18 year old casino worker in a pond located at Chong Chong Rith village, Bati district Bavet city. Bavet police had been searching high and low for Sovann Sok Malin who was reported missing by her family on 2 August. An alert was put out on social media asking for any information on the victim's whereabouts.

It is believed that the victim was raped and murdered elsewhere before her body was weighed down and thrown into the pond. With time, the natural swelling of the dead body caused it to float to the surface where it was discovered.
The victim's mother reports that a telephone, some money and a bag of clothes belonging to the victim are all missing, and it is presumed they were stolen by the murderer. There is now a manhunt to find the murderer as swiftly as possible.
The family has recovered the body for the funeral ceremonies. RIP.

Young women have it tough in this culture. They are violated and discarded. Very sad indeed. I vote for the mob.

It's not just Cambodia. Young girls go missing, get attacked everywhere, even in first world countries.

In this case, it's very sad as you say, and so horribly cynical to take advantage of the young and innocent. I hope the police will find the culprit(s) and that they will be punished according to the law. Condolences to her family.

7 August 2017
- Svay Rieng provincial police are hunting for a group of men that raped an 18-year-old girl and then strangled her to death before tying a rock to her leg and dumping her body in a canal last week.

Sok Vuthy, Svay Rieng deputy police chief of major crimes, said yesterday that the body of Sovann Sokmalin, 18, was discovered on Friday by a group of children in Baveth commune.

“According to our investigation, the victim was caught and raped by a group of suspects,” said Mr Vuthy. “After raping her, the suspects killed her by strangling her. After killing her, the suspects tied her leg with a big stone and threw her into a canal in order to destroy the evidence.”

Buoy Sovann, 38, the victim’s father, said that he lost contact with his daughter on Wednesday, when she was on the way back home from a wedding.
