Murder suspect still at large in Kampong Speu

The family of a woman murdered by a suspect who broke out of a police station while in custody last week yesterday expressed disappointment that the suspect had not been caught, and accused police of having no interest in tracking him down.

“I suspect the police released the suspect and spread information that he had broken bars on the window and escaped,” Thorn said.
