The assailant was identified as Duch Sophea, a 30-year-old male security guard at the scene, and the victim as 43-year-old Touch Sam Ang, a saleswoman.

Re: Shock Murder-Suicide on Riverside, Phnom Penh
I don't know if I could ever live long enough to understand why a person would commit a murder-suicide. Murder, yes, suicide, yes, but murder-suicide?? What's the point?

Re: Shock Murder-Suicide on Riverside, Phnom Penh
It could be either extreme jealousy where you are going to kill your partner because you can't live without them and want them to die too in case anyone else gets them. Other times someone might have gotten too carried away with anger, killed someone and then quickly realized what they had done, couldn't face jail and loss or prestige and decided they might as well kill themselves too rather than dealing with the coming nightmare? I'm glad I don't ever feel that angry.
Concept of thoughts and prayers.

The guy is 13 years younger than the girl. Sounds fishy by the age difference alone. Did the girl stop making payroll?
