Cambodia News (Kandal): On January 5, 2021, a girl aged about 18 years old was stabbed to death in a rented house in Sangkat Prekho, Takmao city, Kandal.

The suspect told the police that he killed the victim because she threatened that she would tell her parents that the suspect had raped her, and so he murdered the girl because he was afraid of going to jail for rape.

The suspect, Touch Socheat, 35 years old, was arrested after killing the victim today. In front of the police, the suspect confessed that he used a knife to stab an 18-year-old girl, Peng Panha, who lived in Sangkat Prekhou, Takmao city, Kandal.

He said he was scared to go to jail after the victim told him that she would tell her parents about him raping her a few days ago. So then, the rapist stabbed his victim many times with a knife at 7:30 am, on January 5, 2020. The young woman died on the way to the hospital. Tragic. RIP.

More details:

The murderer was a neighbor of the girl's family. He had already raped her once, then when he tried again, the girl said no, and that she would tell her family about him.
He then stabbed her to death, and only confessed under police interrogation.

Only 18-years-old. RIP
