Man Who Beheaded Woman and Grandchild Had Already Killed

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.

Individual’s life is not as valuable in Cambodia as in the west, especially if the person was poor. On the other hand, crimes that harm public order or society as a whole (e.g. drugs) are more serious here than killings.
Sentences in general are lighter becuase priso in Asia is a real punishment. COnditions inside prisons make the worst western jails look like 5 star hotels
