Cambodia News On 1 December 2022, a female student was stabbed to death by a man in her rented room located near Western University in Village 2, Sangkat Veal Vong, Kampong Cham City Province. The victim was identified as 20-year-old Viet Chantra, a second-year student at Western University.

The owner of the house said that at about 3 am on 1 December 2022, he heard some shouting inside the rented room. He went down to see what was going on, and he saw blood all over the room, so he hurried to lock the outside gate to prevent the attacker from running away. Then while the killer tried to unsuccessfully escape through the roof, the landlord called the police to the scene immediately.

The prime murder suspect is 20-year-old Yeu Meng Chheak, who lives in Damnak Ampil village, Steng Chey commune, Cheung Prey district, Kampong Cham province. On his Facebook account, the assailant could be seen wearing Royal Gendarmarie uniforms, but police confirmed that that wasn’t his real occupation, which remains unknown for the moment.

During the arrest interrogation, the killer told police that he knew the woman victim ever since they were at Pring Chrum Secondary School together in 2019. The man admitted to the police that he did indeed stab the victim to death. The reason for the murder was that the victim did not agree to have sex with him after they met by chance and went back to the victim’s room together.

^^Yeah, know how you feel.
;-)
But I am still shocked - I'm shocked by the sheer stupidity and entitlement of the man's motive for taking a woman's life (OMG she doesn't want to have sex with ME), by the scale of the violence he used to punish and hurt her (no sex for ME? then I will stab you to death), and perhaps, most of all, it is shocking how often we read about this type of violence in Cambodia news, and how "banal' it is to hear that someone (usually a woman) has been killed yet again because of jealousy, or for simply refusing to have sex.

I wonder what living in a room 4*4 meters on the minimum wage long term does to people.

There’s another current news report of an Acid attack on a man by his wife. Acid attacks are/were the frequent go to option in India and it’s neighbours for similar slights.

Either because a woman rejected a male, or a family denied a marriage proposal (many to school girls).

Asia (in general) seems to have some difficulty dealing with rejection.

Acid attacks were more commonplace here some time back

A reduction in their frequency is associated with the harsher sentences for such attacks since some time early last decade

There's some infamous acid attacks rumored to be linked to spouses of ruling party senior members back in the day

Exactly, acid attacks were the norm here in the nineties and the noughties.

One of the most infamous acid attacks by the wife of a Bong Thom around the late nineties or turn of the century was by the mother of one of my students at the time (Yes, we're talking about a very big name in the govt). After that, not only did he have armed security to escort him to school (he was just a kid then), but the security would stay at school until it was time to go home.

In around 2001/2002, I witnessed the aftermath of an acid attack in front of the New York Hotel on Monivong. The poor woman was screaming and asking for water, but the onlookers just kept onlooking and the hotel doorman wouldn't allow her to enter the hotel to find water. Eventually, a motodop handed her a bottle of water.

Guys slashing a girl's face, acid attacks, beatings, murders etc because of a bruised ego are probably more common around the world than we realise. I have a very close female friend who is always getting unwanted attention from creepy weirdos, it gives me the shits knowing there are sick arseholes like that out there.
