Siem Reap Provincial Immigration Police Officer Major Heng Vichetr told Khmer Times today that the accused was identified as Jon Leon Lov, 57, a British tourist staying in Siem Reap province’s Siem Reap city, in Slor Kram commune. The victim was identified as Uy Soriya, 38, a farmer living in Boeng Daunpa village, in Siem Reap city.

Maj. Vichetre said that Jon Leon Lov who was arrested on May 18 has been charged with ‘Intentional act of violence with aggravating circumstances’ under Article 218 of Criminal Code. He added that the accused attacked the victim in an inebriated state after a dispute.

He would face a punishment up to five years in prison, if convicted.

This is not his first arrest in Cambodia. This dates from 2018:

Sounds like a top bloke.

What kind of piece of shit hits a woman with a hammer? Let’s hope he gets all of those five years
On a side note, he's rough looking for only being 57 years old.

We are still trying to pin down the man's correct name, but he matchs the British man who was identified as JOHN LEON LIP when arrested in Siem Reap in 2018.

Photos of the woman victim of the attack, taken from Khmer news outlets, have been put on the darknet.

That Thor didn't aged well

Hopefully they'll deport this psycho after he finishes his sentence. The fucker will end up killing someone.

Nasty piece of shit - Hopefully the british press get a hold of this
