'Cambodia's Frank Sinatra' bashed woman after affair ended

Mark Russell


An unemployed Melbourne man - known as the Frank Sinatra of Cambodia - has admitted attacking a married woman after she ended their affair.


Vanna Kong, 56, who is regarded as a hero in Cambodia and has been invited to sing at international festivals around the world, pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court on Monday to one charge of intentionally causing serious injury.


Crown prosecutor Daryl Brown told the court Kong had been on parole after being jailed in NSW for beating up his former partner and holding her hostage when he met the victim in August 2013 through mutual friends.


Kong, who has seven children to three different women, was 54 at the time and the victim, who cannot be named, was 29.


Mr Brown said Kong, unemployed but getting occasional work as a singer, and the victim began an affair soon after meeting.
