Double Death in a Guest House. Was it a Suicide Pact ?

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Cambodia News (Svay Rieng): On the morning of 27 February 2023, a 32-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl went to a guesthouse room together in Svay Rieng province, and unexpectedly they committed suicide by pouring gasoline on themselves and setting themselves alight.
This tragic event occured in Ta Neng village, Sangke commune, Romduol district, Svay Rieng province. For the moment, there is not enough credible information available to indicate whether the two of them willingly decided to commit a suicide pact together, or whether the man decided to kill himself along with his much younger girlfriend.

However, it seems that there will be no further investigation into the circumstances of the deaths, and the two bodies have been examined and handed over to their families for a traditional ceremony.
RIP

Two lovers burned to death in a suicide pact, say cop
Two lovers were found burned to death in Svay Rieng province’s Romduol district on Monday in a guesthouse and police suspect that the man drugged the woman then set themselves alight.

Colonel Meas Thourk, Romduol District Police Chief, said yesterday the dead bodies were found at the 7777 guest house, at 7:40 am in Romduol district’s Sangke commune.

“The two victims were named as Vorn Nhanh, 32, working as a cook and An Chenda, 17, who worked at a casino. Both lived in Romduol district.

The police suspect the cause of death was a love dispute,” said Col Thourk.

Captain Srey Sam Ol, Sangke Commune Police Chief, said yesterday no one killed them.

“Vorn Nhanh drugged An Chenda first, which made her unconsciousness, then he doused her and himself with gasoline and set themselves on fire in a locked room,” Capt Sam Ol said.

“I think they had a serious problem related to their love life which was hard to deal with. Then Nhanh chose to commit suicide. At first, Chenda didn’t want to die, that is why Nhanh drugged her before setting themselves on fire,” Capt Sam Ol added.

That's what I thought. It's literally an old dirty room with just a bed, although the fire probably makes it look worse than it might have been.

Still looks like something out of a horror movie like SAW though, especially knowing what happened there.

Impressive detailed knowledge of the events without having been able to interrogate anyone involved and by their own account without further investigation.

That's why they are the specialists I suppose.

Doesn't 'suicide pact' suggest that this was a pre-planned, deliberate act, knowingly carried out by both consenting adults?

She was 17, not legally an adult in most countries, but hey-ho, this is Cambodia, but more importantly, was found to have been drugged and unconscious before meeting her maker. I genuinely can't think of a worse way to go, so in one way, I pray that she actually was unconscious enough to have been unaware of what was being done to her, but this is clearly a case of murder-suicide, and not a 'suicide pact' as Khmer Times is headlining.

I know things can sometimes get lost in translation but considering that the competent authorities themselves have said she was drugged and unconscious turns this into a murder, and regardless of the fact the murderer apparently took his own life at the same time, this is still a murder and surely deserves investigation?

Further details:

As more details of this case come to light, the latest information says that the man, Ron Nhanh, aged 32, already had a wife, and that the couple have a 6 or 7-year-old child. The report says that the man's wife was upset by his affair with a 17-year-old casino worker, but she did not want to get a divorce.
The wife's refusal to divorce has been suggested as a possible (but unconfirmed) motive for the deaths of the two lovers.
