A 21-year-old woman and her 14-year-old sister were seriously injured after a Cambodian-American man poured gasoline and burnt them alive because he was enraged that his engagement with the young woman was cancelled.
In the morning of Sunday 23 November, 56-year-old Mrs. Pin Savat indicated that two of her daughters, 21-year-old Yan Kim Hean, was burnt on her entire body, whereas another daughter, 14-year-old Yan Chanrith, was burnt on her legs and hands, after Tan Ny Long, a 56-year-old Cambodian man living in the US, poured gasoline on them while the two sisters were washing dishes in the back of their home.
Mrs. Pin Savat indicated that the perpetrator is of the same age as her, and he was previously engaged with her daughter. The man became enraged when the engagement was canceled and he perpetrated this violent act.
Mrs. Pin Savat said: “My daughter asked to end (the engagement), so the man agreed to it, and he took off in his motorcycle. No one knows where he went, but he came back to perpetrate this. My daughter was washing the dishes at the back of the house, he came behind her and poured (gasoline) on her and burnt her alive.”
Yan Chanrith, the younger sister of the victim, said: “I was washing the dishes with my sister, I saw Ta (Grandpa) Long [the spurned fiancé] walked over and he poured gasoline on both of us. I stood up and saw his face clearly, it was him, Ta Long, who poured the gasoline and burnt us.”
This violence took place at 7:30AM on Saturday 22 November in Bek Chan village, Prek Preah Sdech commune, Battambang district and province, when the two daughters of Mrs. Pin Savat were washing dishes in the back of their house.
The victims were urgently sent to the Visal Sok clinic in Battambang city, and in the morning of 23 November, family of the victims brought them over to Phnom Penh.
Tan Sophal, the director of the Battambang military police, indicated that Tan Ny Long was arrested in the morning of 23 November, and currently, the police is looking for evidence to build up his case and bring him to court.
Tan Sophal said: “The criminal still denies his action, we brought him to the provincial police office. However, I am now at the spot of the incident, we are gathering evidence including the gasoline (container) for burning.”
Mrs. Pin Savat, the mother of the victims, demanded that the court sentences the perpetrator according to the law, and she also asked for damage compensation, including the hospital cost for her two daughters.
According to the family of the victim, 56-year-old Tan Ny Long is a Cambodian living in the US, he got engaged with 21-year-old Yan Kim Hean on 29 June 2008, but the family of the woman cancelled the engagement at the beginning of November because the two parties do not trust each other.
