On the evening of November 4, a shooting occurred in Cambodia’s Preah Sihanouk province. A Chinese woman was shot in the abdomen and seriously injured. Police quickly launched an investigation and a search for suspects after receiving the report, and have since arrested three Chinese men suspected of involvement.
According to reports, the shooting took place at about 10:50 p.m. near the Changcheng (Great Wall) casino in Sihanoukville. A Chinese man is suspected of shooting a Chinese woman with a handgun. The bullet passed through her abdomen and exited through her back, causing serious injuries.
After the incident, Preah Sihanouk provincial police immediately dispatched criminal investigation officers to the scene to investigate and track down those involved. About an hour later, police arrested the first Chinese male suspect. Further inquiries subsequently led to the arrest of two more Chinese men suspected of involvement in the case.
The three suspects have been taken to the Preah Sihanouk Provincial Police Commissariat for questioning, and the case remains under investigation. Because of the severity of her injuries, the wounded woman was transferred to Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh for emergency treatment.
The precise motive for the shooting and the roles of the three suspects in the case still await confirmation through further police investigation.
