Cambodia news, (Preah Sihanouk Province): On Saturday, October 16, 2021, a tuktuk driver suspect was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a knife, where he stabbed a Chinese man in Sihanoukville before fleeing to Siem Reap.

Please be informed that this act of violence occurred on the night of October 10, 2021 at 4:21 AM in front of Xihu Hotel in Group 2, Village 1, Sangkat No. 3 Sihanoukville, when CHEN JIALI, a 29-year-old Chinese man, rented a tuktuk with his girlfriend from Ochheuteal Beach to the hotel.
For some reason, there was an argument between the tuktuk driver and his Chinese custmer. The driver then stabbed the Chinese man in the left side, causing serious injuries and loss of consciousness. The injured man is currently being treated at a Thai hospital in Sihanoukville. The motive for the stabbing has not been revealed.
