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.

Man in police custody over knife attack against wife
May 25, 2018
Police on Wednesday arrested a man who attacked his wife with a knife and then tried to commit suicide after she asked him for a divorce in Oddar Meanchey province’s Anlong Veng district.

Captain Duong Seng, Anlong Veng district deputy police chief, identified the suspect as Bou Bi, 43, a farmer living in Thlat commune who attacked his wife Seth Channa, 37.

Cap Seng said that on Wednesday morning, the suspect has an argument with his wife and slapped her in the face.

The wife became enraged and asked for divorce, he added, noting that the wife demanded that she be given the house and a motorbike after the split, leaving the suspect with the farm land. The suspect did not agree.

“He was angry at his wife for trying to divorce him and demanding to have the house and the motorbike,” Cap Seng said. “He took a knife and chopped her many times, causing injuries on her left hand, right shoulder, neck and head.”

“After chopping his wife, he locked himself in the house and tried to commit suicide by burning the house down and hanging himself,” he added.

Cap Seng said that authorities responded and used a fire truck to put out the blaze before entering the home and preventing the suicide.

Very good question actually hmm..most likely the man gets the car and house,the women gets monthly payments if they have a child and that’s that ,whoever’s name is on the land gets the land.im probably very wrong but just shooting out my thumb!
Everyone is equal. Everyone has a place. No one is written off, because there is worth and goodness in every life... That is the Republican ideal. And if we won't defend it, who will?
