Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Sihanoukville gang fight leaves one dead, nine arrested

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

22 December 2017
SIHANOUKVILLE - Nine young men, all under the age of 20, were apprehended by Sihanoukville police on 20 and 21 December in connection with the death of a 19 year old man on 19 December.
The nine belong to two different gangs who were fighting when the man was killed with a large knife. A pistol was also recovered at the time of the arrest, and five other youths are still being sought by police.

Although it was not the murder weapon in this case, a big question is, where are punks like these getting hold of firearms ?
