BURN....Sim Yi being treated at Kosamak Hospital hours before he succumbed to his burns.
A CAMBODIAN man died and his girlfriend seriously injured after the man's wife reportedly poured acid over them while they slept.
According to the Phnom Penh Post, Sim Yi, 42, was treated at Kosamak Hospital just hours before he succumbed to his burns after the attack on Friday.
His 19-year-old girlfriend Srei Leak, suffered burns over 20 per cent of her body.
Sim Yi’s wife, Chheng Mao, 50, allegedly doused the couple with acid after her husband took the younger woman back to their house, Memot district police officer Him Sarak told the Post.
He said police had not yet arrested Chheng Mao, who had fled after the attack.
"We cannot judge yet if the suspect escaped to another province or if she is still hiding somewhere in the district," Him Sarak said. (Phnom Penh Post)
