Foreigner Found Dead Under Suspicion of Murder In Sihanoukville

UPDATE: The victim has been identified as (Gerrard Matheson) Garry/Gary/Gerry week used to own Pocoloco Bar in Sihanoukville, and before that Tsunami Bar in Pattaya, Thailand.

Sihanoukville, A body of a foreigner was found on Tuesday morning on Kamsap beach right in front of the provincial hall located in Village Bei, Sihanoukville city. The victim's motorbike (Yamaha Nou Vo Mx) with number plate Takeo 1-4858 was found about 3 meters from Gary's body. Police said the victim died from a violent attack, probably murder, as the body was found with three wounds near both of his ears. Some evidence such as sticks were found at the scene. Currently the body is being kept at Preah Sihanouk Referral Hospital.

Beaten to death while sleeping on Victory beach, shitty way to go!

thats a killer blow right there, i would doubt he was sleeping if he took a blow that hard behind the ear and across the top of the head, the attack would have come from the side or behind, probably while he was sat by the beach

Why didn't they steal his bike? Looks like a "revenge killing".

Going from the Huh Bunleng pics, he had a blanket and some of the pieces of wood were quite large and square, so could be either scenario, but you're probably right, makes it a brazen brazen murder. Wonder what the motive was, His pickets were inside out, but seems over the top to kill this guy that looks like a bum, unlikely he's rocking up to the beach at 7am for a swim with a few hundred in his pants.

Nobody steals a Yamaha Nouvo, for the same reason they never steal a Suzuki Step. They're a liability more than an asset.
Surprised none of the Vic Hill crowd has chimed in yet, surely somebody knew the guy.

No name yet... RIP.

The victim was found dead at Victory beach,Village 3, Sangkat 3, Sihanoukville, lying in face down position on a mat at 8am today, 13 December 2016. There were marks from three blows in the region of his right ear. Pieces of wood found at the scene have been taken away for inspection as the possible murder weapons. The motorbike was parked about 20m from the body.

That's awful. Hope they find a name soon.

RIP.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a few methed out boys that play at the fish game arcade just at the end of the beach. Some of those addicted deadbeats would kill for a tenner just to play a few hours more.
