Cambodian couple shot dead by neighbour over land dispute

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA – JUNE 17, 2024 In January 2025, Cambodian businessman Srey Sina, known for his influential position and connections to government structures, was sentenced to 31 years in prison for the murder of a young couple. This shocking case, which has shaken the public, not only involves tragic circumstances but also a deeper context related to a land dispute.

The murder occurred in June of the previous year when Srey Sina, allegedly enraged over personal disagreements with his neighbor, 27-year-old Long Lysong, and his fiancée Khin Kanchana, organized their deaths. The mutual conflict over land between the two men escalated into violence that resulted in the deaths of two young people. In addition to the two victims, two other individuals present at the scene were seriously injured but fortunately survived.

Although there were witnesses at the scene who immediately called the police, the victims’ bodies were eventually found in an advanced state of decomposition. This might seem puzzling given that the witnesses survived, but it suggests that the perpetrator took steps to ensure the situation was covered up and worked to erase traces of his crime.

Srey Sina was not only known for his activities in real estate but also for having received the honorary title “Oknha,” which is associated with influential individuals in Cambodia who financially support the government. This title raised concerns that his position might influence the course of the trial. Despite being regarded as a person with significant influence, the court decided to convict him to a lengthy sentence, which was met with positive reactions from the public, who hoped that even those with high status would face a fair trial.

Srey Sina was found guilty not only of murder but also of attempted murder and other serious crimes. In addition to his prison sentence, he was ordered to pay compensation of one million dollars to each of the victims’ families. This verdict is significant not only because of the tragedy itself but also because it has sparked a debate about justice in Cambodia and the role of businessmen in the country’s legal system. While this is a single case, its consequences may have a long-lasting impact on how the legal system is perceived in the country.
