Policeman Shoots Hairdresser to Death in Phnom Penh

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.

I very seldom go out at night, precisely because of this.

I had to last night, an emergency, but the driving is just scary and with KNY the drunk drivers are everywhere

Sure put on some weight. The murder did not weigh heavy on his conscience.

10 years seems a lot.

my ex's son is looking at that for a self defence killing.
yabba head came to his house.. looking for his ex ,(sons mother) son pushes him outside... drugged up ex pulls a knife, son takes knife off him and sticks it in the idiots throat.. hes been on remand for almoast 6 months.. big court date next month so should be in the press by then.
Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. The former is me, the latter a reflection of you.

A lot depends on the attitude of the victim's family in this type of case. If they are opposed to an early release then it probably won't happen.
