Husband Sought Over Buried Wife
Police are hunting a man who allegedly killed his wife and buried her body near Rattanakiri province’s Banlung town.
“We found the body on Saturday at 1pm in Thmor Da village,” town deputy police chief Koy Pril said yesterday.
“We suspect her current husband whom she absconded with to live in Banlung. The husband escaped before we found the body,” he said.
“According to her daughter, who sells at the Banlung night market, they argued almost every day.”
Her stepfather, Pil Nang, had built a charcoal kiln about five kilometers from the market. “When the mother, Phan Pov, 47, went missing, her daughter suspected that she would not have run away because she had only one daughter,” Mr. Pril said.
“Because her mother always had arguments with her stepfather, she went to the charcoal kiln.”
There she saw the arm of her mother’s blue T-shirt sticking up through the ground and reported it to police.
“Bruises on the body show she was probably killed by a garden hoe or a stick,” Mr. Pril said.
“We found a hoe and 1.5-meter stick near where they made the charcoal.”
However, the kiln was capable of making only two or three sacks of charcoal, which meant it was too small to be commercially viable.
“He is likely to have built the kiln as an excuse to get his wife there to kill her, but everything is still unclear,” he said...
