South Korean National Shot Dead at Rest Stop in Kandal

by Phan Soumy | August 12, 2016

Police are searching for an unidentified man who fatally shot a South Korean national at a rest stop in Kandal province on Wednesday evening, but are without leads or possible motives.

A South Korean Embassy official, however, said the victim was likely killed over a business dispute.

Witnesses say the suspect and victim arrived at a roadside shelter in Kandal Stung district together shortly before the suspect was seen driving away alone at about 5:30 p.m., district police chief Men Chanrith said on Thursday.

“People said they arrived together in a car. It appeared as if they came to inspect the land,” he said, adding that at least two locals had seen the men together. “The shooting occurred after they got out of the car and went to the community rest stop.”

The South Korean man, the police chief said, was shot three times, including in the left side of his head.

Immediately after the shooting, residents saw the gunman flee the scene in the orange car that the pair had arrived in, which was later found abandoned along National Road 2 in Takeo province to the south, Mr. Chanrith said.

Officials Quiet on Foreigner’s Murder

Authorities have been tight-lipped over the death of a foreign national in Kandal province’s Koh Khnor village on Wednesday, despite local media reporting that the killer was arrested in Phnom Penh yesterday.

The identities of both the suspect and victim and the motive for the killing have yet to be revealed by authorities, saying the release of details would disrupt the investigation. Provincial police have said only that he was Korean or Chinese.

Yesterday, the government-affiliated media outlet Fresh News reported that it received information from an anonymous Military Police officer who said Phnom Penh Military Police had arrested the murderer near Sorya Shopping Center in Daun Penh district. The report said the motive of the killing was over an unpaid debt.
National Military Police spokesman Eng Hy would not confirm or deny the arrest.http://www.khmertimeskh.com/news/28464/ ... -s-murder/
