The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) deplores the brutal acid attack in Kampong Cham province on Friday that took the life of Sim Yi, 42, and which has left a 19 year old woman, Srei Leak, with horrific injuries. In today’s Phnom Penh Post (“Acid attack claims man’s life: Case will test provisions of new law”) it was reported that 50 per cent of Sim Yi’s body had been badly burned and that he died hours after the attack. The main suspect of the attack is believed to be his wife, Chheng Mao, who allegedly fled the scene after the attack and remains at large.
