S'porean teacher found dead with "big head wound" in Cambodia, 5 arrested

[Extremist]

A Singaporean teacher was found dead in her Cambodia home yesterday. She was seen to have suffered "a big head wound" and there was blood coming out from the room.

According to The Straits Times report, Mrs Wendy Ng, 52, was a relief principal at the Hope International School in Cambodia.

She was found in a room at her two-storey home in the province of Kampong Speu, west of the capital Phnom Penh. This sparked a murder investigation.

Pastor Sinai Phouek, the director of New Hope for Orphans in Cambodia, told The Straits Times that colleagues went to investigate when Mrs Ng did not turn up for work at the Christian school.

"They couldn't get through to her. They saw blood coming out from the room and tried to break open the door," he said, adding that she had a big head wound.

Police found that Mrs Ng's iPad, a Samsung Galaxy phone and about $400 in Cambodian and Singapore money were missing from her home, said Mr Phouek.

The house did not appear to have been ransacked and the items were later found buried under a tree about 200m away.

Five men were arrested last night.

Mrs Ng lived alone and made regular trips to Cambodia for 10 years. This time she was working at the school for a month.

Mr Phouek, who has known Mrs Ng for more than 10 years, described Mrs Ng as a "lovely, passionate and very good person".

Her body is expected to be flown to Singapore today.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry said its embassy in Phnom Penh is in touch with the family and providing consular aid.

They are some of the sweetest people in the world. But also, one of the most unpredictable.

A simple remark can earn you a stab on the stomach with a kitchen knife. I have witnessed it myself.

They are a people working on instincts. If they have to defend themselves from hurt, or even loss of face, they will do it.

They already live on very little. But what little pride they have left as a human being, they will defend it to the last drop of blood.

Singaporeans don't understand this. We are still in our uppity glass towers looking down at everyone. It's time to reflect.

On the contrary, it was your God that is useless and powerless to do anything. Don't know why people like you continue to be stupid in believing such useless fairy tales.

These thieves weren't targeting the handphone, iPad & the small change, iPad & mobile phone, easily traced in country like that, not everybody can own such things. Read Carefully, she is in charge of the staff salaries of a few thousand dollars ( maybe USD), & they are in the safe in the house, she live in. The thieves were targeting that..

That's why Cambodians are at the bottom of the economic ladder when compared with other South East Asians.....

Most able ones are the Viets..... they are most civilised.... the most hard working.... but the Cambodians hated them....

1. how shittytimes featured the deceased is appalling.
2. the crux of its release sang emotions of one very ugly & fat sheep.
3. failed journalism

Cambodia is a Buddhist country... maybe some group just hate Christian organizations spreading their religion to the poor and underprivileged.

They even make the scene as if its a robbery (items were later found buried under a tree about 200m away)...

They caught the 4 men responsible..they were poor & hungry..has nothing to do with religion..might as well say, they are vegetarians?

small change is still money. if they couldnt get the safe open, take the small change is better than nothing. this story is full of holes. any half-ass police officer will smell something fishy.

this sounds slightly more plausible. not everyone welcomes the xtians proselytizing the message of jesus.
