Man Tries to Burn Himself to Death After Spat with Wife

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Kampong Thom, Cambodia News: On 7 April 2019, a 36-year-old village man, Peng Chan, was very drunk and tried to commit suicide by burning himself to death in Beung Lvea village, Santhok district, Kampong Thom.
It seems that the reason for his act was to get back at his wife; he was angry with her because she scolded him for being drunk, so he poured gasoline on himself and set himself alight.

After the incident, the man was sent to the hospital for treatment.
