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.

Is there a lot of corruption in the military still? Did he feel like he could get away with it like in the old days?

It seems that there were grounds for the husband's jealousy, (but of course this is no excuse for shooting his wife.)

August 31, 2022
Military officer arrested for shooting wife after he caught her with other man in ‘love tryst’
A military officer is in custody after he shot his wife after discovering her in flagrante with another man in a barn.
The incident occurred on August 26, 2020 at a barn in Phabang village, Tmekeo commune, Siem Pang district, Steung Treng province.

According to the police report, Vai Chhom, who works in the military service at Veerak 2 of the Intervention Force No. 7, shot his wife – Pean Bowien of Phabang Village, Tmekeo Commune, Siem Pang District, Stung Treng Province – after discovering her having sex with another man in the barn.

I’m not entirely convinced- she was off polyamoring, and hubby shot her. Slight increase in problems, by my count.

LOL @ polyamoring.
It's only ethical non-monogamy if everyone knows about it lol.
