China News Service, January 15 According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia, the spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia answered reporters' questions about the murder of two Chinese citizens in Phnom Penh.
The original text is as follows:
Question: On the evening of January 12, two Chinese citizens were killed in an apartment in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is reported that the Chinese Embassy in Cambodia has stepped in. What progress has been made in the investigation of the case?
A: The Chinese Embassy in Cambodia expresses its deep condolences to the tragic death of the two compatriots in Phnom Penh and expresses condolences to the families of the victims.
Our museum attaches great importance to this murder case, and immediately communicated with the Cambodian Ministry of Interior and the Phnom Penh Police Station upon learning, requesting that Cambodia solve the case as soon as possible and severely punish the murderer in accordance with the law.
At present, the Cambodian police are fully investigating the case and have initially grasped relevant information and clues about the murderer.
At the same time, our museum has invited relevant domestic authorities to assist in contacting the families of the deceased and provide convenience for the families to come to Cambodia to deal with the funeral of the victims as soon as possible.
The embassy will continue to closely monitor the progress of the case.
Judging from the recent detection of vicious cases involving Chinese citizens in Cambodia, most of the homicides are related to gambling. Our museum once again reminds Chinese citizens in Cambodia to clean themselves and strictly prohibit illegal activities such as gambling to avoid burning their bodies.
