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.

MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On April 27, 2020, at 11 pm, a Westerner (later named in the local press as MARK ASPINALL) was arrested for brandishing a gun at the bar near Bali resort, Sangkat Ouback Kaom, Khan Sen Sok, Phnom Penh.

Before the incident, the foreign man went to drink at a bar. When he got his bill, he had no money to pay. The bar owner questioned the Westerner, which made him angry, so he punched the owner. He left the bar and later returned with the money and pointed a gun at people there. The owner then called the police.

After receiving the information from the bar owner, the Royal Gendarmerie went to the scene and arrested him. He was detained at Khan Sen Sok Royal Gendarmerie while they prepared a case.

Why the change? Also could not get the news site. And could not post. Is it fake news for the first instalment?

Later news says the foreigner was detained for questioning at Sen Sok district police headquarters, not the Royal Gendarmerie as previously reported.

We are polar opposites in almost every way but we still get on, and i do wish him well.
Not much we can do to help that his buddies cant, they are in a totally different class to any of us.
I reckon he will probably be back - and without so much as a blush.

He suddenly stopped posting a month ago. Was there a reason for that? His last posts were about being stuck "on base."
