The report from the Royal Cambodian Police Criminal Investigation Department, on July 7, revealed that a Chinese man was murdered and his body was discarded. Five Chinese suspects were arrested. According to the report, the incident occurred at 10:20 am on July 3, when the Cambodian police found a male body suspected to be of a Chinese man, about 34 years old, in a dim location in Bokor Klae district, Takeo province, and initially determined it as a murder. Afterward, the Cambodian police followed up and eventually arrested five Chinese suspects!
If these five suspects are tried in Cambodia, they will certainly get away with it. Because Cambodia does not have the death penalty, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment. And these five people committed one crime, which means they will not receive a life sentence.
The maximum prison term would be 20 years or so, and even possibly by paying some money and making connections during the process, they could serve only three to five years in prison, which is not impossible. Because the Cambodian criminal law sentences are relatively light, this is a fact. If these five people were extradited back to China for trial, they would definitely face serious crimes. However, Cambodia might not be willing to extradite them, so it depends on how to coordinate relations. If the deceased youth was an elite, it might be extradited, but if he was similar to these five young people, then there's no need to extradite them.
Many Chinese people live abroad, and they also have interest conflicts. In critical moments, such shootouts can occur. Currently, Cambodia has not disclosed much information about this criminal case, so the blogger doesn't want to say much more. Anyway, if these people are sent back to China for trial, the punishment would be stricter. But if they are tried in Cambodia, they will probably not face major problems, and all five of them could survive.
Cambodia has no death penalty, so these five people may be lightly sentenced and released successfully.
