A Khmer-Australian lady has been strangled by her husband's nephew in a robbery while on a visit to Cambodia, reports Cambodia Express News.

Fifty-five year-old Chap Heang, married to 65 year-old Sam Vorn, who had lived in Australia for the last 30 years, is on a visit to Cambodia to attend her nephew's wedding since 15 April. On the morning of 27th May, her husband's nephew, 28 year-old Ros Hong Se who is an English teacher at a private school, picked her up in his Camry from Lucky Star Hotel in Phnom Penh where she is staying to go and have lunch at Prek Leap. After the lunch, he detoured to Sen Sok district telling her that he needs to see a friend. When they arrived at a quiet place at Sen Sok, his friend, 28 year-old university student Hoeun Bun Theng, got into the car and then both started to strangled her until she passed out.

Mrs. Chap Bun Heang's body was dumped in a vacant lot nearby after the two robbers took all her possessions including jewelry and cash worth around $20,000. Luckily, a cowboy (cowherd) saw her lifeless body and he called the ambulance to take her to Kossamak Hospital where she gained consciousness but was so traumatised that she began kicking and fighting, appearently against her attackers. She was bruised in many areas such as her neck, from strangulation, and her ears torn apart, appearently caused by the robbers pulling out her earrings.

Firstly, Mrs. Chap Heang's body, because of her white complexion, was mistaken for a Chinese national. But, after she gained consciousness, she said that she is a Cambodian expatriate from Australia.

According to Koh Santepheap, after receiving the report, police began to investigate swiftly. After a tip off that the suspects were heading toward the northeast province, Phnom Penh police reported to Rattanakiri provincial police to set up a road block and at 2pm the next day, the two suspects were arrested at a roundabout in Banlung procincial city. The two suspects have been detained awaiting trial.

If I were the victim lady, I would hire a killer to kill this ungrateful nephew of the husband. He is an ungrateful crocodile. He tried to kill her after she is very good to him, paid for the lunch and probably give him some money too. Animal!

Khmer-Australian strangled

"The LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil..."

I wonder addicted to gambling wasn't the driving force for this attempted murder?

My verdict for these two guys is...Death. They had in mind of killing her, they are guilty of murder.

I don't agree with the person saying all Cambodians in Cambodia are animals. Animal nature is in all of us. It is just some (if not most) people let their animal nature dictates their craving desires to act and behave worst than an animal could behave!

We are to live above the animal realm. Because we are to have authority over the animal kingdom, instead letting the animal having authority over us. You have to understand my statement as in both spiritual and physical light.
