CAMBODIA, PHNOM PENH, Oct 03, 2011 - A Cambodian mother of a three-month baby was killed on Monday morning inside the hospital complex at Chamkar Dong commune, Dangkao district in Phnom Penh while she was taking in her baby for vaccination.
The young woman delivered her baby about three months earlier. The victim’s mother said: “My daughter’s husband is a Cambodian-New Zealander.” She was shot three times and died instantly, the police, the witnesses and her mother said. At 10AM on the day of the incident, the victim took her baby in for vaccination and the gunman followed her.
Bon Sam Ath, the police chief of Dangkao district said: “As a first step, we concluded that it involves a “love triangle affair” because the victim’s mother told us that her daughter was married to a 55-year-old Cambodian-New Zealander for over two years now and, recently, her husband’s first wife learned of the affair.”
The husband’s first wife is a suspect in the killing. It could be that the first wife hired a gunman to shoot her daughter, the victims’ mother concluded. “No property was taken. The gunman drove away with empty hand and he drove a C- 125 Dream motorbike,” the victim’s mother added.
A doctor at the hospital said that before shooting, the gunman came over to the hospital and sat down quietly waiting for the victim to open her car’s door and started her car to return back home. The gunman then shot her three times but the third bullet was fatal as it hit her in the head. She died immediately on the spot.
This is the second shooting in Dangkao district. The first shooting involved a money robbery case which was taped by a neighboring security camera. In that case, the mastermind of the crime is in jail right now, and the murderer is a former police officer from Daun Penh district, Phnom Penh city, Kingdom of Wonder.
