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.

The reason for the act is not clear, but the arsonist, Su Lan also called Det, is known to be a drug addict of unstable character. After he set his house alight, he took his two young children and ran off into the woods with them to hide.

However, when they saw the house on fire, the authorities went to search the forest; they soon found the family, and arrested the man for burning down his house. At the police station, he tested positive for illegal drugs.
