British Expat Charged with Hammer Attack on Cambodian Woman

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

A British tourist was arrested and charged by the Siem Reap Provincial Court today for attacking and causing severe injuries to his Cambodian girlfriend.

Siem Reap Provincial Immigration Police Officer Major Heng Vichetr told Khmer Times today that the accused was identified as Jon Leon Lov, 57, a British tourist staying in Siem Reap province’s Siem Reap city, in Slor Kram commune. The victim was identified as Uy Soriya, 38, a farmer living in Boeng Daunpa village, in Siem Reap city.

Maj. Vichetre said that Jon Leon Lov who was arrested on May 18 has been charged with ‘Intentional act of violence with aggravating circumstances’ under Article 218 of Criminal Code. He added that the accused attacked the victim in an inebriated state after a dispute.

He would face a punishment up to five years in prison, if convicted.

What kind of piece of shit hits a woman with a hammer? Let’s hope he gets all of those five years🤞🏻
On a side note, he's rough looking for only being 57 years old.

We are still trying to pin down the man's correct name, but he matchs the British man who was identified as JOHN LEON LIP when arrested in Siem Reap in 2018.
