WTF. I just read a FB English news item saying that this killer was the girl's boyfriend, but that's not true. :evil: All the information on the girl's murder leads to the evidence that the killer was a creepy stalky guy who didn't have a chance with a girl that he fancied, who was 10 years younger than him, so one day he went crazy and he went to the girl's room where he raped and killed her.

FK that. She doesn't deserve this defamation. He was not her boyfriend and it was not her fault. By all accounts, that guy was a just a weirdo, a rapist, and a killer. She was unlucky. FK that seriously.
Rant over.

That was what was reported at first, but as you say it turns out he was just a creepy stalker.

Well, eerily enough, I have been here in Poipet for the last week+, and, I stay where the victim often did. I saw her in the lobby a couple times, she had a mainland Chinese boyfriend that lives here at the V 9 Hotel. The unverified local take on this is that she had the two boyfriends, as local women often do and that the Khmer accused boyfriend caught the other two in a carnal moment at the V 9 and then he flipped out on her when she returned home 60 meters away on the next street. I don't put any stock in this angle, I meant to pursue it but it just does not seem wise to do so. I may make another go at nudging some info along when I check out today. The victim's grieving Chinese boyfriend is unknown to me and I'd hate to upset him more with questions and idle talk, even if he just overhears it or hears about the inquiries.
