One of possible 12 cold-blooded robbers, who brutally robbed a woman and her son and callously shot her dead, has been arrested after a tip off from the public.
On Sunday 28th August, a group of between 6-12 robbers robbed a woman of 100 million riels ($30,000) and shot her three times in a busy street and in broad daylight. The robbery was captured by a security camera which took place near Pochentong Airport. The woman was shot her 3 times after she tried wrestle back the money, hidden in a beer case, from the robbers.
The robbery began when 48 year-old Chuon Chea Theara and her 21 year-old son were transporting the $30,000 in a motorbike from Chom Chao district to exchange for the riel currency in Phnom Penh. On the way, they noticed people on motorbikes were chasing them so they sped up, taking shortcuts to find police, but they could not find ones, so they ride their motorbike and crashed it in front of a market opposite the airport and ran into the market with the money. The robbers chased them, wrestled and took the money. The son ran away, but the mother ran after the robbers and tried to wrestle back the money, but was shot three times in cold-blooded by one of between 6-12 robbers who were waiting outside. The whole robbery was captured on a security camera and the footage was posted on Youtube, Facebook and sent from one person to one person by mobile phones.
At 6:30 am, with a tip from the public who identified one of the robbers through the Youtube footage, police had arrested 31 year-old Lay Vannak, alias India because of his Indian complexion, at his house in Lovea Em district in Kandal province.
Police are still looking for the other robbers who are still on the run.

Catch all of their group and sent them to prison. They are cruel then animals.
good idea send them back to the US.
Good! Getting the others will be easy, if you know what I mean...
I hope the police caught the right person. In Cambodia, most of the robbers are police and military police themselves and sometimes they arrested innocent people to cover their crimes. The video seem positioned too far, so it is hard to identify the real robbers. However, it is not hard if Cambodian police are as sophisticated as American or British police. If these robbers are caught, they deserve the harshest punishment possible.
As I watched the video, it angers me to see how Cambodian never lift a finger to help the woman; they left her to die. noone call the police, or ambulance or help her.
Point blank execution!!! this is not his first time. He's train to kill regardless who the victim are. No doubt he's a former or currently Police or Military personnel.
Cambodia prison continues to swell up without proper place put criminals or to reform the criminal. The law lack of accountibility among perpetrators and victim continues to get victimized by the same criminal. There is no capital punishment in Cambodia. PM Hun Sen is the only man can change the law, therefore I appeal to PM Hun Sen change the law quickly to avoid further expansion of criminal on the street. Look at the guns he posses. How could he gets such guns? only military personnel posses such guns. If he is not part of the military personnel then PM Hun Sen should be even more concerns regarding the country stability and guns on the street. More criminal on the street which will led to revolution and attempt to take over the country in the future. If you don't already know, Lotus Revolution group wanted to do protests street and guess what; they too will have access to guns to defend themselve when trouble comes. If a person can access to such weapons, what else the top official could access to if they wanted to creat chaos or coupe against PM Hun Sen? This is very dangerous situation that Cambodian government should pay attention regarding guns available on the street. Cambodian police doesn't even have such guns to carry on their job. I met my friend who is a police; I asked where is your gun? He said, he was not allow to carry gun because he is low ranking police and he is only allow to carry a stick to battle with criminal and criminal can shot him point blank like the victim here. He said, he is risking his life everyday when he stop people for violation of traffic but what can he do, it is his job and he has to complete his duties as police officer and he has to raise his children and put food on the table. People curses, scream, look down at him everyday and it is part of the job description already. Criminal think Cambodian police is a joke. It is sadden to watch the video and saw the people just standing around and act normal while the lady dying. Are we the society with heartless? PM Hun Sen also agreed to bring more criminal to put on the Street from United States. I guess Cambodia is the dumping ground of everything including criminal, toxic trash, drugs, weapons, prostitution etc. You are not helping anybody by bringing more criminal from other country to fill the Cambodia street; soon investor will realize that Cambodia is dumping ground of hardcore criminal from United States; how will they feel to invest in Cambodia. I wonder if economic boom will continue once they learned their security also at risk. Don't get me wrong; I am not Sam Rainsy fan but I do care about Khmer and I want to see stability of Cambodia.

For the comment regarding my qualification; I thank you for the comment. I have very good teacher but my English is street language not professional like other writers from Western country such as True Khmer, Warrior Blood, School Vice, Khmerization and other writers that doesn't want to mention their name etc. I learned from communicating with my customers especially rich customers that are here touring our ancestor heritage which I am very proud of it. Many times, they talk about my people like I am not there and they thought I didn't speak English and I let think that way so that I know what they think about my people. Many of them love Cambodia and wish to help out sincerely but there are scumbag child molestor and pervert out there rolling on the street pretent to be savior. Many NGO employees with high tech gadget showing off their new camera or Iphone etc. and some Cambodian professional doesn't even wanted to speak Khmer to me because they don't want to be low class like me. It is very satisfying work for me. I get to know to know the inside of many people. It is not a bad living because many good customers tipped me well. It is a honest living but I am continuing my study.

Lock them up and throw away the key. These cold-blooded robbers deserve a death penalty, but since Cambodia has no death penalty they must be jailed for life and never to be released. But I hope the police arrested the right persons, not innocent people as has happened many times before.
I have notice that crimes are keep rising in cambodia now!..The tourist may turn away to another country if cambodian authority is weak..!!
This guy called Ah "Khleoung" probably"criminal" came from US or Australia, they deported his ass back to polluted cambodia...
I don't want to cause problem but I don't see how Cambodia benefit from taking these hard core criminal back from the US. Educated Cambodia cannot find job, let alone those criminals. These criminal will not able to find job, guess what they are going to do next when they don't have job? You know what will happen in the next couple years especially easy accessibility to guns as you can see how much this guy possess of guns. You will have Phnom Penh street rule by gangsters. There are over 2000 hard core criminal on the waiting list from United States waiting for the Cambodia government to accept them into Cambodia any minutes. I would be scared if I were you. Cambodia will become the gangster land and it will cripple the economy by gangster activities. US doesn't send petty criminal; I am talking about double murder, murder, attempted murder, robbery, drug dealers, sex offender, child molester etc. These are criminal will be shipped back to Cambodia to run around freely because you cannot charge them twice and they already paid for their crime. Some were in jail more than 15 years and once they are released, they are shipped out right away without allowing them to hit the US street or visit by family members because they don't want them to be on US soil. I guess the Cambodia government feel that it doesn't have enough criminal on the street so they import the hard core from USA. If it is about money, it is not worth it. You will spend ways more money on police force to keep these criminal of the street once it hit Cambodia. People should be on the street to protest against Cambodia government taking back the criminal. Ship them back to the USA not in CAmbodia. Where the hell is Lotus Revolution? You should protest against something like that.
GOOD JOB YOUR EXCELLENCY(SAR-KHENG),I'M HAPPY FOR THAT YOU PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THEM TO GET A JOB DONE.GODBUDHHA BLESS YOU AND CAMBODIAN PEOPLES WHO IS INNOCENT.
CONGRATULATION YOUR EXCELLENCY,MR:(SAR-KHENG).I'M ON BEHALF OF KHMER'S PEOPLES INNOCENT,I'M FOND OF YOU WHO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THEM TO GET A JOB DONE.GODBUDHHA BLESS YOU AND ALL CAMBODIAN PEOPLES WHO IS INNOCENT TO PERFORM THEIR SIMPLE AND DUTY JOB FOR SURVIVING.
