What a horrible thing to happen. I heard about this yesterday, from a guy who came up from Kep / Kampot.

An American man accused of the murder and attempted rape of a masseuse at a massage parlour in the city of Kep was arrested today in neighbouring Kampot province.

The suspect, Shawn Daniel Sanchez, was arrested near a roundabout in Kampot town this morning while attempting to flee, said Oeng Sam Ol, the Kep provincial police chief.

Sanchez is suspected of killing Luch Kean, 27, who worked at Lyda Massage Khmer in Kep's Crab Market, he said.

“There was good cooperation from people and some guesthouse to help our authorities to identify the suspect," Sam Ol said. "The suspect was arrested on Wednesday and it only took 14 hours to arrest him.”

Sam Ol said Sanchez was currently being questioned by police officials in Kep. Images released by the National Police appear to show Daniel with scratches on his neck and face. A photo of his passport on the National Police website indicated he was 24.

Vanny Seyha, who owns the parlour but was away at the time of the murder, said Sanchez, who had come to the parlour on Monday, had returned on Tuesday night and insisted on getting another massage from Kean.

He said another employee, Srey Pov, saw Sanchez leaving the parlour with scratches on his neck.

New Yorker Arrested in Japan Over Severed Head in Suitcase

 

An American tourist has been arrested in Japan after police found the severed head of a woman in a suitcase in his holiday rental flat.

 

Yevgeniy Vasilievich Bayraktar, 26, from New York, is currently in custody and being questioned by police following the discovery in Osaka last week.

 

The victim is believed to be a woman, 27, from Sanda in Hyogo prefecture, who was last seen on CCTV cameras alongside Mr Bayraktar, just hours before she went missing on February 16.

 

Security footage reportedly captured the pair meeting at a train station in Osaka around midnight and then entering the apartment building together.

 

The woman had earlier told a friend that she was planning to meet a man she had met via a social networking site, according to local newspapers.

Her relatives raised the alarm with police on February 17 when she failed to return home and her mobile phone stopped working.

Mr Bayraktar was captured on security footage entering and leaving the flat several times on February 16 with a suitcase, but there was no further sign of the woman.

 

Six days later, police searched the flat and arrested Mr Bayraktar after receiving a tip that he was confining a woman in the flat before discovering a head in a suitcase. Arms, legs, and a torso were also found in a mountainous area nearby.

 

Mr Bayraktar is thought to have arrived in Japan in January for a sightseeing trip and was booked to stay in the flat for around a week.

He has denied the allegations and remained silent during police questioning, according to media reports.

Japan has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the world’s safest countries, with its crime rates among the lowest for industrialised nations.

Last month, preliminary police data for 2017 showed that the number of recorded crimes in Japan had fallen to a record low of just over 915,000 incidents.

However, every year, a number of violent crimes also hit the headlines, including the so-called “Twitter killer†Takahiro Shiraishi, who was arrested last year after reportedly luring nine young people he found via social media to his home before killing them.

Somehow, I don't think they are going to believe that he didn't know about a severed head in his luggage.

A Japanese serial killer. Something I hadn't heard of before. I thought the USA had a monopoly on them.

His name appears to be Russian or East European, so perhaps he's also a Muslim?  If she was an infidel then it would be ok to do this, right?

      Child sex-tourism plan earns Alaskan 18 years   Mon, 28 March 2016 Erin Handley   As Alaskan man has been sentenced to 18 years behind bars for attempting to arrange a child sex tourism trip to Cambodia for himself and others, and for sexually exploiting children in Cambodia over a four-year period, the US Justice Department announced on Friday.
       
      Jason Jayavarman, 45, was found guilty and convicted of the crimes in March last year, after an anonymous tip-off triggered an FBI and police investigation, said a statement from the department.
       
      According to trial evidence, he planned a trip for himself and others to engage in illicit sexual conduct with Cambodian children as young as 12.
       
      Jayavarman told potential clients – including an undercover FBI agent – how to groom a child for sex and avoid arrest.
       
      Trial evidence also proved he made 12 trips to Cambodia between 2010 and his arrest in 2013, where he made multiple pornographic videos of himself engaging in sexual acts with someone he believed to be a child.
       
      US district judge Sharon Gleason of the District of Alaska on Thursday sentenced Jayavarman to 18 years’ jail and a lifetime term of supervised release.
       
      Nget Thy, executive director at the Cambodian Centre for the Protection of Children’s Rights, said the sentence “set an example†to opportunistic foreigners angling to exploit children in the Kingdom.
       
      “The children are very vulnerable, especially the poor … it is happening more and more in Phnom Penh,†he said.
       
      “It is very easy for them to be exploited, so we have to protect them.â€

      Drug-posting couple gets 25 years jail   Fri, 25 March 2016 Niem Chheng   A Nigerian man and his Vietnamese wife were sentenced to 25 years jail by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday for mailing 1.5 kilograms of heroin to Australia.
       
      The couple was arrested on July 15, 2014, after Australian authorities told Cambodian anti-drug police they found 1,550 grams of heroin in eight packages hidden in backpacks sent from Cambodia. Hearings began on February 5 this year.
       
      Judge Than Leng sentenced Okeke Amedi Samuel, 34, and his 28-year-old wife, Ho Thi Hu Thuy, to 25 years along with fines of 50 million riel (about $12,400) each “on the charge of illegally transporting drugs [through the] Dangkor district branch post office on May 5 and 21, 2014â€.
       
      A Honda CRV automobile, eight passports, the backpacks and sewing materials would remain confiscated as per Article 92 of the Criminal Code, the judge continued, adding that “finger rings, necklaces, earrings, and motorbikes must be returned to the ownersâ€.
       
      Asked if he accepted the verdict after the trial, Okeke maintained his innocence.
       
      “Accept what, if I don’t know, accept what?†he said.

      SIM cards used to be easy to come by. Sovan Philong   SIM registration set for showdown: official   Fri, 25 March 2016 Kali Kotoski and Catherine Harry   Six months after the government claimed that they would delete unregistered mobile phone lines, the Telecommunications Regulator of Cambodia (TRC) said they are gearing up to make good on that promise after the March 27 deadline expires; with the exception of the upcoming Khmer New Year that would disrupt their ability to reimpose a law that has existed since 2012.
       
      Telecom operators had previously been given two three-month extensions since last September’s announcement. Im Vutha, director of the regulation and dispute unit at the TRC, said that time is now up, no more extensions would be given, and that he hoped that providers had complied with the law.
       
      “This is the last time. After this we will go check the [operators] to see if they have followed the law. And if the company or operator cannot show that they registered their customers, or if they have not cancelled them already, we will tell them to announce that they will be cancelled,†he said.
       
      Despite the original four-year old law that requires identification to purchase a SIM card – a law meant to manage the transaction and usage of telecommunications – Vutha said that fierce competition within the market previously made it impossible to implement oversight.
       
      The registration crackdown stems from concerns raised by the National Police last year that claimed that new measures need to be in place to combat terrorists, drug traffickers, extortionists, kidnappers and other criminals that exploit mobile and SIM anonymity.
       
      Sereroth, a student at a local university, recounted how a Facebook friend tried to lure her into a mobile scam. After exchanging numerous messages over the social platform with a man who promised that he would send her gifts and money that totaled $15,000, she gave out her phone number.
       
      Weeks later, she received a call from someone claiming that she needed to pay $1,500 to get her package cleared through customs.
       
      “I told them I don’t have that much money right now,†she said, adding that after a lot of negotiations, the caller agreed to settle for $400 to be wired through mobile money transfer service. However, when she contacted the customs office directly, she realized it was a ploy.
       
      “I don’t think they would’ve found the person behind this because they used an [unregistered] number,†she said, explaining that she blocked the number after repeated calls. “Most people trying to con others are unregistered and can simply destroy the SIM card after they harass somebody.â€
       
      A February 29 announcement by the TRC called on telco operators to inform their customers of the impending cancellation of subscriptions by reaching out to them through phone calls, text messages, social media messages, and information on their websites of how to properly register.
       
      Ian Watson, CEO of Cellcard, said that since September, the company has stepped up measures to inform their customers about the need to register. The company has sent out SMS texts, run a pop-up notification on their website, and sent out Interactive Voice Response (IVR) messages to non-registered subscribers.
       
      “Almost the entire subscriber base is already registered, but unfortunately not all customers see the benefits and threats of SIM registration. Cellcard keeps trying to touch base with all of them through indirect and direct communication channels to help them complete their registration process as stipulated by the law,†he wrote in an email.
       
      Thomas Hundt, CEO of Smart Axiata, said that the company was in full support of the government’s push for registration “for the purpose of national security and subscriber protectionâ€.
       
      “Smart requests prepaid subscribers to check their profiles and to register or update if not done yet, either online under simreg.smart.com.kh or by visiting any Smart Shop, to avoid numbers being barred and service affected,†he wrote in an email.
       
      The owner of Pheanu Rangsey, a phone shop and SIM card dealer near the Olympic Stadium, said that he is aware of the law after local commune officials warned him of the impending crackdown, and only sells registered SIM cards now – averaging four or five a day.
       
      “Sometimes people only buy the SIM card to access the Internet, so they don’t believe they need to register, or they do not have proper identification,†he said. “If their numbers are cancelled, it is their own fault.â€
       
      Vutha admitted that registration can be difficult as people generally have numerous SIM cards and lack proper identification cards. For this, he said, as long as a commune official or family member can vouch for a person’s identity, it would suffice for registration purposes. This, however, would still be problematic in practice.
      “On our side, it will take some time to check all the names of the subscribers. Especially when making sure they are properly registered in Khmer, or if they are changing names of the subscribers during registration,†he said.
       
      The National Police initially speculated that up to 70 per cent of the Kingdom’s 20.9 million SIM cards did not have adequate verification. Vutha believes that from the data that he has compiled over numerous meetings with industry stakeholders, this percentage has dropped.
       
      Nevertheless, he said that the crackdown is about to begin and there will be legal consequences for infractions – just not yet.
      “After Khmer New Year, we will go and start looking at the telcos’ data to make sure they have followed the law. We have given them plenty of time. It will take time for us to prepare a task force to address this issue. But it will happen sometime in April,†he said.

      Tracing Cambodia's crime routes. Daniel Nass   Cambodia a ‘hub for drugs’   Fri, 26 February 2016 Jack Davies and Bun Sengkong   A report released yesterday by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) identifies Cambodia as a transportation hub of growing importance for heroin and methamphetamine as well as precursor chemicals used in their manufacture.
       
      The report examines the rapid growth of transnational crime across the ASEAN region. It found that as regional integration has increased and economies have expanded, so too have organised crime networks.
       
      The UNODC estimates transnational crime across Southeast Asia and China to be worth at least $100 billion annually.
       
      Jeremy Douglas, UNODC’s regional representative, yesterday said the Kingdom’s developing role in the regional drugs trade was partly because of geography.
       
      “Cambodia is very well placed between two middle-income countries that are doing very well, Thailand and Vietnam,†said Douglas, with illicit timber, human beings and drugs – particularly methamphetamine – being trafficked from and through the Kingdom to its wealthier neighbours.
       
      “For years, we’ve been pointing out to countries that meth is rising,†he said. “We see that it will continue to rise because you have a large youth culture and increased purchasing power.â€
       
      While Cambodia does not have the purchasing power of some of its middle-income neighbours, the affordability and availability of “yamaâ€, a pill-form of methamphetamine, means it is not immune to the issue.
       
      David Harding has been working with Cambodian drug users for the past 15 years. He said yesterday that yama first appeared on the Cambodian market in the late 1990s.
       
      “The whole [drug] culture is dominated by meth,†said Harding.
       
      He agreed that Cambodia was predominantly a source and transit country for drugs, rather than a destination. The high level of drug consumption in Cambodia, he said, was testament to the extent of the trade’s presence in the country.
       
      “Traffickers don’t pay people off in cash, they pay them with drugs. So the fact that there is a significant drug issue in Cambodia suggests there is a very significant traffic,†he said.
       
      Meas Vyrith, secretary-general of the National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD), yesterday said Cambodia was a “victim country†in the global drug trade “as a result of increased production and trafficking of methamphetamineâ€.
       
      The UNODC’s Douglas called upon the ASEAN nations to increase budgeting for border security and transnational law enforcement projects at a level more in line with investment in economic cooperation.
       
      “The security agenda is several steps behind the economic agenda. The security agenda is quite a ways behind that, which is not as well resourced,†he said.

      Accused pedophile Udo Sabiniewicz leaves Phnom Penh Municipal Court following his hearing yesterday. Hong Menea   Alleged victim backs out of sex abuse case   Fri, 19 February 2016 Niem Chheng and Igor Kossov   A German national accused of molesting five children continued to maintain his innocence in court yesterday, as the family of one of his alleged victims announced they were dropping charges.
       
      Udo Sabiniewicz, the 57-year-old head of FX Animation Studios, was arrested on June 16, 2015, following complaints from the parents of five boys, aged 7 to 13, police said at the time.
       
      Two of the alleged victims’ families ultimately never stepped forward to press charges following the arrest.
       
      The case was further winnowed down yesterday as Srey Leak, mother of an alleged victim, didn’t show up to court, instead sending court officials a statement claiming that police had instructed her child to incriminate the suspect.
       
      One of the two remaining plaintiff’s mother’s, Taing Soravy, the suspect’s former cleaner, however, stuck to her guns.
       
      “I knew that Udo abused my child when one day my child did not want to play with him. I asked him, why? He said ‘he [performed a sex act]’,†Soravy told the court.
       
      Sabiniewicz at the time was paying several hundreds of dollars per month for her rent, electricity, water bills and son’s school.
      The German claimed his troubles with Soravy began when he drove her and her son home one night. Before getting out of his car, Soravy said something to her son about the defendant’s iPad, Sabiniewicz said. When the iPad turned up missing, he believed the son had taken it per his mother’s instructions.
       
      The suspect claimed that when he called Soravy the following day to demand the iPad back, she threatened him with arrest and prison if he “made trouble†for her.
       
      “She said ‘if you report me . . . I will harm you’,†said Sabiniewicz. “What did she do? Threw me into prison.â€
       
      When asked why he brought up the stolen iPad only after his arrest for child molestation, Sabiniewicz claimed that he was looking for a lawyer to go after Soravy, which takes “three or four monthsâ€.
       
      Long Samnang, mother of another alleged victim, said she’d met the suspect at a hairdressing shop, becoming “like boyfriend and girlfriendâ€.
       
      He also helped her pay for rent and her son’s schooling. In a non-public session, Samnang’s son told the court yesterday that the suspect played with his penis 10 times.
       
      Sabiniewicz did not address Samnang’s or her son’s testimony, but maintained his innocence of all charges against him and blasted the Cambodian justice system for violating his human rights.
       
      “I hope my case will be a big warning to everyone in the world,†he cried. “For God’s sake, don’t come here.â€
       
      A verdict is due March 11.
