British Expat AARON CALLANDER Found Dead in LS Guest House in Phnom Penh

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.

[Remember that he has family when commenting. He is obviously known in Kampot and elsewhere in Cambodia as a scammer, and he was disliked by many, but no need to insult him.]
This is a discussion forum, not a legacy.com obituary guest book. People should be able to discuss whatever they want.
I think that the point was that if he has a family with young children and he is recently deceased it would be inappropriate to tear into him for the sake of the family. he cannot hear or be affected by insults, but they can, should anyone who knows them read the forum or if it gets out in the autralian press as things do sometimes

If a scammer with no kids dies it’s OK to call him a scammer, but it the scammer has kids then such truthful statements are out of bounds?

That’s bullshit. I have no kids.

Indeed. Giving scammers a free pass to be exempt from posthumous criticism if they have young children just encourages them to procreate and pass on their scammy genes to another generation.

I met this guy a few times, a friend employed him as a guesthouse manager. He seemed ok but was fired within a short time for smoking meth or something.

Someone who has not been convicted or proved guilty in a court of law is innocent. At least I think that is the correct interpretation of you are innocent until proved guilty. He is not around to defend or explain his actions, nothing you can say or due will cause him any harm. His wife and children have not comtted any harm and are guilty of nothing as far as we know so why should they suffer? It serves no purpose.

Yes, your are right when you say that,,,, but ,, that would also cover every person who has a family member in prison, in hospital or has a family member who has died.
Lets just say, if one cannot say something nice, dont say anything at all.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

You have a point about the presumption of innocence, but I think what Cam Nivag said is right. It shouldn't depend on whether or not a person has children.

Anyway, in this case I'm pretty sure he was found guilty by the Kampot Kangaroo Kourt.

If all posters followed that dictum this forum would die.
