Cambodia News (Takeo Province): Takeo police have reported that arrests have been made in a murder case which occured at 15:50, on February 3, 2023, when a 17-year-old boy, Paet Kosalseth, was attacked and killed on National Road 2, Prambei Mom commune, Trang district, Takeo province.

Six male suspects on three motorcycles escaped from the scene, leaving the victim dead on the roadside. Immediately after receiving this information, the Major General ordered the Takeo Provincial Police and all district police forces to go to the scene and search for the killers. On February 5, 2023, a 16-year-old suspect named Phen Rady was arrested in Trapeang Chhouk village, Tralach commune, Traing district after confessing under interrogation.

After the police interrogation, the suspects admitted to attacking the victim to release their anger, and then killing him. In a terrible turn of events, the students said that they were angry with another student, and they went looking for him with a knife to threaten him and beat him up. However, they couldn't find this person, and the group of teenagers became angry and frustrated.

Then, unfortunately for the young victim, he arrived on this quiet stretch of National Road 2 alone on his motorbike. The gang of teenagers didn't know the victim, and only decided to attack him because they were angry, and he was alone and unarmed: The 17-year-old boy died from being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The suspects are being held in custody awaiting trial at the First Instant Court of Takeo Province.
