The 45-year-old man, identified only by the common surname “Lee,” is alleged to have fed sleeping pills to his wife before deliberately driving his car into a parked truck while she was in the passenger seat, the article says.

“The police said Lee rammed his car into an eight-ton truck parked on an emergency parking strip around 3:40 a.m. on Aug. 23,” it says. “His wife, a migrant from Cambodia, was in the passenger seat and was killed instantly. She was seven months pregnant.”

The article does not name the Cambodian woman or otherwise identify her, and says only that she got married in 2008. It says the crash was initially deemed an accident by police.

Siem Reap would be women free zone.
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist
