Kampong Cham Double Murder Update April 8

Task Force Echo19 – Double Homicide of a Grandmother and Child – Investigations continue

Over the past several days Task Force members and Kompong Cham Police Command have conducted numerous searches surrounding the densely bushed area where the partial remains of a grandmother and child were located on the 3rd of April 2019.

Today searches focused on 3 of the primary crime scenes identified during the initial investigation. It is a vast crime scene with several areas of interest within it. Task force members are committed to gathering all available evidence to ensure an offender can be prosecuted.

At this point in time several persons of interest are being interviewed however I will state this is an ongoing investigation with many lines of inquiry yet to be explored.

Investigations will continue until an offender is apprehended and taken to the court.

I wish to thank Kompong Cham Police Command, Ministry of Interior Crime Scene Section and assisting International resources for your excellent work to date.
