How can it be his daughter but the woman isn't the mother and she has the kid?

Do you mean he thought it was his kid but it wasn't it was the woman's with her Khmer boyfriend?

I too would urge the family to have him created and support the child. He must have lived Cambodia, why not scatter his ashes on the Mekong?

From what i got told it seemed like a case of kidnapping,
I never knew his woes as he sat at Nicks bar most nights.
As far as i have been told it was his child and it was not known if she was the biological mother, it could be just the way she was acting that started some to assume that a normal khmer mother is less likely to kidnap their own flesh, so i will attempt to find out facts from other sources.
He had told thelocal khmer whom i know in a past private discussion about his sadness, due to his wife had not only found another boyfriend, but had taken his daughter away and was not letting him know the childs whereabouts. Again i dont know if he was scared the mother will abuse the child or the boyfriend, or was just plain scared as most parents would be.

I will now need to ask the local he told when i see them to recount the story, and get a time frame of just how long the childs dissapearance was up his death.

as i never knew about this until he died, i dont know if he had reported it to the police.

Is there some public record compiled by an ngo that lists missing people in cambodia that non-police/ngos can access online?

in the province you rely on abc radio to broadcast a missing child rather than bothering to file a police report.

Sorry for all the 'i was told' lines, as it got told to me and now cannot confirm with Paul.

Now i get told that it was 3months before his death (around jan-feb)that he confided about his missing daughter and cheating wife.

And it was from 2 years earlier, so possibly somewhere around dec 2013-jan 2014 that kidnapping took place.

There could have been a complaint given to police, even a court case, but as Paul just seemed to sit at Nicks Bar and looked sad, i dont know if he told anyone else of english speaking background who i can now ask.

it wouldnt be polite to use facebook to contact his british relatives, and if its 2 years ago it will be hard to even id the correct child.

so sad

Hi,
Do you have any idea where you are going with this ? Do you want to find the girl and introduce her to her British relatives ? Make sure the kid is ok or what ? Are you ready to take some responsibility ? It could all be very traumatic.
I agree it's very sad, but if something was to be done, it should have been done by Paul I think. Unless his Brit family know about her and are concerned, and then surely they would have contacted someone in Cambodia when Paul died.
From what you've said, I'd go with leave it alone. Possibly see if you can track down Nick on FB and see if he knows anything definite. But it seems like too much hearsay, too long ago. IMO, good for you for giving a shit, but you can't fix everything.
Also possible that someone concerned might see your posts here. Never know.

Thank you, sorry yes if i was told it was from 2.5 years ago prior to posting i may not have mentioned it, i believed it was a current event and needed attention.

cheers

I wish to clarify all this slanderous talk about kidnapping as I am the boy friend talked about and my my wife is the mother of the child the allegations are made towards.

Firstly I would like to let everyone know that Paul was a good step father.
To set things straight paul knew exactly where his step daughter and her mother was but chose to live in the capital away from them.

I wish to state that the comments made here have greatly hurt the people concerned including the little girl who does not understand why people would say such things.

To clarify people's concerns about her she is very well looked after as she is a only child and my wife and I love her with all our heart and have been providing a good and healthy life style for her.

As for the English realatives they knew my wife and did not even tell her about Pauls death as she found out months later from a friend let alone try and help or support Pauls step daughter.

I also wish to say how much I am disappointed in this forum allowing people to place slanderous comments and not have them removed once requested.

Step daughter or biological daughter?

Monks is full of shit
