British Expat AARON CALLANDER Found Dead in LS Guest House in Phnom Penh

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.

Sadly, Aaron seems to have been a Cambodian expat with problems. Eight months ago he was asking for the help of strangers to give him money that he said was to get him back to Australia where he has family.

[Remember that he has family when commenting. He is obviously known in Kampot and elsewhere in Cambodia as a scammer, and he was disliked by many, but no need to insult him.]

If his GoFundMe spiel was just another scam to buy drugs or whatever, then he deserves what insults he gets, IMO.
