Wat Woman Shooter Remanded in Custody

Phnom Penh: A woman involved in shooting at a monk was detained and sent to prison on June 10, 2019.

The woman, Phan Srey Lin, 29, was charged by Keo Sokunthea, deputy prosecutor of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court with attempted murder and illegal use of firearms.

The incident happened at 6:15 pm on June 7, 2019, at Wat Sarawan, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh. The victim, Su Piseth, 32, lives in the monastery.

The motive is said to be the woman’s anger with the monk after a water blessing ceremony 2 years earlier failed to change her luck and make her husband love her more. The magic didn’t appear to have worked, so she bought a gun in Thailand for $1500.

Earlier reports suggested the woman has mental health issues. Rasmei
