Sderng Sarith said Mei Kimhong confessed to the crime, adding that he killed the victim, Ly Davy, because she was rude and insulted him.
"The arrest was made after the authorities checked security camera
[footage] from a villager living nearby, and they saw the suspect
stabbing the victim," Sarith confirmed.
Police arrested Kimhong, who
confessed during interrogation. According to Kimhong’s confession, he
disliked Davy because she
looked down on him and would spit in his direction every time she passed
him. This behavior, he said, aggravated him and he had been planning to
kill her for some time.
The police accounts show that Davy was headed to the market to buy
food, when Kimhong, riding his motorcycle, stabbed her in the back with a
knife, only to make a quick escape once nearby villagers were alerted
to the incident.
Kimhong, who is a mathematics student at the Royal University of
Phnom Penh, has been charged with intentional murder and is currently
being held in the Tuol Kork district police station.
