Cambodia News (Battambang): On April 6, 2020, at 10:30 pm, a 41-year-old farmer, Som Kong, attacked his wife, Vy Chorn, 28 years old, and hacked her to death, in Ohlmoun village, Rotanak Mondul district, Battambang.

After the attack, the suspect went to ask if he could borrow a villager's motorbike to take his wife to the hospital, but they didn't allow him to take the bike. He then disappeared.

Then, the next morning on April 7, at 09:30 am, the local people went to the couple's house and found that the woman was lying there dead, and had been horribly mutilated, with many injuries caused by a large farm knife.

After receiving the information, Mr. Ouch Sokhun, director of Battambang police station, and Mr. Jeth Vanny, the criminal police and autopsist, collaborated with the local people to open an investigation into the murder. The husband, who is the prime suspect, ran away during the night and is being sought by the authorities for questioning and legal action.
