Chinese Woman Shot and Seriously Wounded in Cambodia's Sihanoukville; Three Chinese Suspects Arrested
SIHANOUKVILLE — A Chinese woman was shot and seriously wounded on a street in Village 3, Sangkat 4 of Sihanoukville, Cambodia, at about 10:50 p.m. on November 4, Cambodian media reported. The bullet passed through her abdomen, and she was rushed to Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh in serious condition. The shooting took place along a main road near the Great Wall Casino area.
According to Hong Kong's on.cc and other outlets citing Cambodian media, the gunman was a Chinese man. Preah Sihanouk provincial police arrested the first suspect within about an hour of the report, and two more Chinese men allegedly involved were later detained; all three are being questioned at the provincial police headquarters. Police have not announced a motive, the relationship between those involved, or the source of the firearm. Some reports have pointed preliminarily to a private dispute, but no official findings have been released, and speculation circulating online remains unconfirmed.
Sihanoukville is a Cambodian coastal city with a large Chinese business presence, and cases involving Chinese nationals have occurred there in recent years. The case will be investigated and tried under Cambodian law, and further updates on the victim's condition and the investigation are expected from local police.
