Woman killed by either poison or strangulation
Confusion is swirling around the death of a Vietnamese woman who passed away last Wednesday in Prey Veng province. The 21-year-old woman’s parents told police that she died because she drank some sort of poisonous substance. But after bringing in a team of scientific investigators, police decided that the woman’s death was caused by strangulation. Police are continuing their investigation.

Desire for more booze led to robbery: cops
Two people have been arrested after they allegedly tried to steal a foreign woman’s handbag near a market in the capital’s Tuol Kork district on Friday. Police claim that one of the suspects confessed to the attempted theft following the arrest. He said he and his accomplice had been out drinking and had run out of money for their many planned adventures. Though they were initially attempting to sell their mobile phones, they changed their plan when they saw the Korean woman carrying her bag. This new plan proved a failure.
