Cambodia News, (Stung Treng): Stung Trung police have arrested a man who beat his wife until she was almost dead, and then used a machete to kill his 7-year-old child. After that, the suspect used a machete to cut himself in an attempted suicide. This case happened on the morning of November 9, 2022 in Sre Sronok Thmey village, Kbal Romeas commune, Sesan district, Stung Treng province.

Kbal Romeas commune administrative police officer said that after the murder, the police arrested the suspect named Kanny, 37 years old.
According to the police, Kanny initially had a quarrel with his wife, Kheng Kom Chan, 39, and beat her up so seriously that she was sent to the Sre Pok Health Center to save her life. Then he took his son Nivuth and hid in the house where he killed the boy with a machete. The suspect then used the same knife to inflict serious injuries on himself, much to the surprise of the police.

On the morning of November 10, the Sesan District Police Force is building a case of the father killing his son according to the procedure.

Looks like a damaged hand - I hope from punching walls before attempting to cut himself (I didn’t see the cut) rather than punching the wife or child - which seems an odd hope given he used a machete. Total prick




Edit I read again properly - he beat his wife - so that hand is from beating her

(Just woke up - should not post so soon after waking)

He likely cut his own throat hence the krama to cover his neck.
