Murderer beaten to death by mob

Kampong Speu provincial police are searching for villagers who were part of a mob that beat up a drug addict who was accused of murdering a 68-year-old woman on May 31 in Ek Kapheap village of Kong Pesei district’s Prey Vihear commune.

The mob who beat the man seriously injured him and he died as a result of those injuries one day later.

Commune police chief Kith Vey said on June 1 that the mob beating stemmed from an earlier incident on May 31. The murder victim, Ros Samay, was taking care of her two-year-old grandson while the mother was working at a factory job, when the suspect Soeurn Sort, 25, allegedly hacked her to death with a cleaver at around 1pm that day.
