Body of man struck by train found in Kampot

A 38-year-old man was killed yesterday in Kampot province’s Banteay Meas district after being hit by a train, according to a district police official.

The man, identified as Ut Bunthea, was a resident of Trapaing Sala Kang Lech commune and had attended a birthday party on Monday night in a nearby village across the train tracks. Police are unsure as to why Bunthea was at the tracks but said it could be due to his history of excessive drinking, said Tob Vanny, the district’s police chief.

“He walked home alone, but we do not know why he was unconscious on the railway tracks,” Vanny said, adding that Bunthea was found with deep injuries to his arms and legs. Vanny said Bunthea was known among the community to drink a lot, an issue that was exacerbated after his divorce from his wife.
