A Korean man was found dead and dismembered in an apparent homicide in Cambodia five months ago but the investigation has made little progress, according to the Korean Embassy in Phnom Penh Saturday.

The embassy said the person, only identified by his last name Park, 59, was found dead at a garbage dump on the outskirts of the city on Nov. 28 after he went out with $60,000 cash for a business deal on Nov. 13.

When police found his body, the lower half was missing, which his family found six days later at the dump. After an autopsy, Korea's National Forensic Service concluded Park was choked to death.

The very 1st thing I looked for when I read he had been dismembered...did the officials call it a suicide...don't laugh...it has happened before in Thailand...☠ 

"... he went out with $60,000 cash for a business deal on Nov. 13."

 

He didn't think maybe that wasn't a very smart thing to do? 

He played $60,000 for his own murder. Hell, you could almost call this a suicide.

60k cash in a 3rd world shthole - pretty good score.

$60,000 divided by Cambodia's GDP per capita $1,384.42 equals 43 and a 1/3 years of yearly income for the average Cambodian. 

This is the equivalent of an American stealing $2,579,479 USD.
