Father Murders 1yr old Daughter. On the 24th of November at about 4pm the offender was observed arguing with his wife at his rented house in Takhmao, Kandal Province. Sometime later the wife left the premises at which time the suspect then attacked his 1 year old daughter with a pair of scissors inflicting fatal injuries.
An uncle of the victim observed the attack and grabbed the child and rushed her to Kandal Provincial Hospital however she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Neighbors called local police who arrested the suspect. He was taken to the same hospital suffering from self-inflected wounds that were non-life threatening.
CPU Homicide and Forensic units attended the scene and assisted Kandal Police Command in the examination of the deceased and the crime scene. The suspect was taken to Kandal Police HQ and is to be charged with Aggravated Murder. The death of any child is devastating but to be committed by a parent is incomprehensible. RIP angel, you did not deserve this.
