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.

Looks like a before and after pics of when the drugs started. One he is thick, muscled, fat on his face. The first one he is super thin no muscle and trying to steal money. Hmmm

And damn that's one helluva Facebook post!

Swiss charged over Facebook threat
September 17, 2018
Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court charged said a Swiss tourist on Saturday for threatening a French tourist on Facebook and attempting to extort $1,000.

Major Sok Veasna, a provincial police officer, identified the accused as Richard Erik Stiogson, a 32-year-old tourist from Switzerland.

Maj Veasna said that Mr Stiogson was charged with extortion and could face up to two years in prison if convicted.
He noted that Mr Stiogson has been sent to prison pending trial.

Maj Veasna said that the victim, 28-year-old Nexraud Arthur, a French tourist, owed Mr Stiogson $1,000 and was unable to pay.

He said that on Wednesday, Mr Siogson sent a message to Mr Arthur, ordering the latter to pay his debt before Thursday.

“Mr Stiogson said on Facebook that he’d kill Mr Arthur if he failed to repay the money on time,” Maj Veasna said. “The victim feared for his life and he filed a complaint with provincial police.”

Mr Stiogson was later arrested on Thursday afternoon in accordance with the complaint, he said.

Police confiscated a vegetable knife from Mr Stiogson, Maj Veasna noted.
