Three Chinese Nationals Arrested for Murder, Extortion

Three people were arrested and sent to the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court in connection to an alleged abduction, extortion and eventual murder of a Chinese national. Provincial court spokesperson Ly Chandara told VOD on Friday that three Chinese nationals were arrested by military police after a body was found in Preah Sihanouk’s Prey Nob district late last month. “The case has just reached the judge,” he said.

The national military police posted on its Facebook page that on Thursday it closed a two-province investigation into a case that stirred rumors on Chinese social media. The post said it arrested three people: Zang Yanming, 43, male, Sang Chuan Gang, 38, male, and Liang Jing Jing, 39, female.

Yanming was identified as an owner of Ta Soeng Sanjong company and the other two were employees, but the company could not be found on Commerce Ministry records. The suspects were sent to court on charges of collusion to commit premeditated murder, illegal weapons possession, extortion with aggravated assault and concealment of clues.
