Baby Burned in Family Honor Killing


Recommended Posts

Posted

A former Khmer Rouge soldier was charged yesterday with murdering his month-old granddaughter by pouring petrol on her and setting her on fire. Sok Sorn allegedly felt shame that his 23-year-old daughter had dishonored the family by getting pregnant without a husband.  
 

Major Seng Sokunchath, the police chief in Kampot’s Trach district, said Mr. Sok was angry with his daughter, Top Mol, for a few weeks before killing his grandchild. Mr. Sok, who was said to always be drunk, allegedly plotted to kill both the baby and his daughter, a garment worker in a Phnom Penh factory.  
 

Maj. Seng said that a day before the murder, Mr. Sok bought three liters of petrol and kept it hidden in the house. He stockpiled knives, axes and hammers in the house to prevent neighbors and police from entering and intervening.

Honor killing my ass. Plain simple infanticide. Most likely Pol Pot screwed his brain. Nothing to do with honor. Locating the father of the child and sorting him out may have fit the honor theme but not murdering a baby.

Murdering an innocent one month old child! 

 

What a low life pea brained excuse for a human being this former soldier is. Lock him up and make sure all his fellow prisoners know what he did.

 

Is there something wrong with Asian cultures with saving face?
