By yesterday morning, two bodies had bled out on the dirt in a Kandal village, the bloody aftermath of Cambodia’s latest chilling incident of mob violence, this time in Kandal Stung district’s Roka commune.

 

And though both men were murdered, seemingly no one will face a court, with police apparently willing to place responsibility on a mob mentality.

 

The first man, Lounh Lon, 62, was a father to seven daughters who rebuffed the persistent requests of one suitor, Suon Ottara, 35, who was seeking to marry one of them. At 10pm on Sunday, Ottara allegedly hacked Lon to death as he lay sleeping in a hammock next to his wife, Wor Rey, 60, and their 10-year-old grandson.

Well that is pretty brutal, but I have to kind of agree that justice has been served. While I do not condone vigilantism Ottara got his just rewards and if the village are staying quiet, it will be very hard for the cops to bring a case. There is a kind of logic that says, Yes, the case is over.
