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.

Husband Stabbed Wife to Death in Fit of Jealousy

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News(Phnom Penh): On June 22, 2020, at 7:20 pm, a 23-year-old woman, Leang Phalla, was stabbed to death by her husband at their house in Sangkat Oavlouk, Khan Kambol, Phnom Penh. The suspect named Sok Ly, also 23 years old, ran away to escape.

Before the incident, the husband was jealous of his wife. That evening, when the woman came back from the factory where she worked, she went to take shower. After that, her husband took a knife from the kitchen and stabbed his wife in the chest. The victim died shortly after she was sent to Calmette hospital for treatment. RIP.

The body was returned to the family for funeral preparation. The police are still searching for the husband.

Not so sure about the jealous she had a job part, though. Many young Khmer guys' jobs seems to be dropping off their gf or wife at the factory in the morning and picking them up after work, driving home just in time to shower and go drink with the boys with the gf/wife's money.

What's up with that picture? He looks like a dwarf but in the mug shots he looks tall? I feel pity for the poor young woman murdered by an inadequate and insecure little worm like that.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I think it’s just the angle the picture of their picture has been taken. But echo your sentiment. What an absolute waste of oxygen he is.

I don't think so, look how small their hands are. It's been distorted.

Looks like a Photoshop job, stick the head on a body, just like the Khmer E Cards that missus sent to me. Without the cutesy animation and music.

RIP poor lady.

That man needs to be reborn as a worm, ASAP.

Can someone explain how a “worm” can get a cute lady like that for a wife? Don’t tell that before marriage he was a knight and then he turned.
