Hourn Sokheng, 17, admitted to strangling the girl and dragging her unconscious body into the Mekong River before drowning her, Tep Vandina, the police chief of Chroy Changva district’s Koh Dach commune, said on Sunday.
Under questioning at the commune police station, the teenager said that he was riding a motorbike to his farm on Wednesday evening when he came across Deum Sokleak walking home from primary school and offered her a lift, Mr. Vandina said.

The girl managed to escape, but Mr. Sokheng caught her and grappled her to the ground before strangling her. He then dragged her body to the river and held her under the water until she drowned.
“The suspect was afraid the victim would tell her parents what happened,” Mr. Vandina said...
