Cambodia News (Banteay Meanchey): A 19-year-old boy, Chan Somnang, was arrested for attacking and killing two people at 03:40 am, on March 21, 2021, in a rented house, near UME university, Klar Konchas, Sangkat Kampong, Serey Sorpon city in Banteay Meanchey.
Ly Hak, 36 years old, died at the scene, and Rath Pich, 20 years old, was seriously injured and died in the hospital.

Image
Lieutenant Nou Chivon, the criminal department's deputy director, said the suspect confessed to attacking the victims, saying he was angry with Rath Pich, because he talked to his girlfriend, D** S****, 14 years old. On the incident night, the two men argued on the phone, then when Rath Pich and Ly Hak went back to their rented room, the suspect was waiting outside.
It was dark, and the suspect launched a savage attack on the two men with a knife. Ly Hak died instantly, and the other man died later at the hospital.

The suspect rode off on a motorbike with his friend to escape, but was found by police and arrested for questioning and case preparation. He admitted to the killing, saying that he was jealous about his girlfriend and angry with Rath Pich.

Sometimes it's hard to believe what you read here about this type of crime, killing over jealousy because the victims talked to the man's 14 year old girlfriend.
Is that not a law here, having underage girl's. The guy is surely a very mixed up person.

You’d have to question whether she really was his girlfriend, or more the object of an obsession, given that this is his reaction to someone talking to her. Admittedly, we have scant information about he whole incident.

Such savagery hiding within that diminutive facade.

Unfortunately there seems to be little consequential thinking amongst many of the individuals who commit these types of crimes.
To take two lives and destroy his own life over jealousy is quite tragic.

So many things wrong in this whole affair. The savagery is one thing, while the underage girlfriend (by A LOT) makes the whole thing sound like some sort of made-up story. No ringtone about these sorts of issues though.

Article 8 of the 'Law on Suppression of the Kidnapping, Trafficking, and Exploitation of Human Beings' states, "Any person who commits acts of debauchery involving a minor below 15 years old, even if there is consent from the concerned minor, or even if the person has bought such minor from someone else or from a pimp, shall be punished by ten (10) to twenty (20) years in prison. In case of repeat offenses, the maximum punishment term shall be applied."
