Woman Arrested After Killing Her Husband with Baby's Scissors

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.

The dead man may well have been a nasty violent type if his family are supporting his wife (and alleged killer)... And yet I don't see any bruises, cuts or scratches on her face, upper torso or arms.

No not weird. Normal in Cambodia. The scissors go under the baby's pillow to ward off evil spirits.

Yeah, but not sharp, pointy ones. Even then if you have any sense you'll toss them out when nobody is looking.
