According to Nokorwat News

2 Korean men die in a house after their wifes infused them with a serum.

Phnom Penh:
2 Korean men, more than 50 years old, died in the room of a house after they returned from drinking in the house of a friend. When they came home they felt hot and exited in their chest because they drank too much. This made their wifes, who are also doctor, take their blood pressure, inject medicines and infuse them with a serum.This led to a reaction resulting in the death of both men.

The incident already happened in the night of January 1 2016 but was only discovered on January 2 2016 at 1PM when the Korean Embassy informed the local police after receiving a telephone call from the wifes of both victims at 11PM on the same day.

The authorities identified both victims as Huong Chang, male, 56 years old and Mun Chol, male, 50 years old. Both are vendors having a business in Cambodia since many years already.

According to the wifes on January 1 2016 both husbands went drinking in the house of a friend. When they returned they felt hot and excited in their chest and started screaming and scratching their chest with their hands causing many cuts and bruises. When they noticed this they tried to help their husbands. They put one in the mezzanine, took his blood pressure (which was low), gave him 2 injections with a medicine and infused him with a serum. They put the other victim downstairs and they infused him also with a serum. Before both men suffered from stomach ulsters.

They added that after infusing both men with a serum they saw them sleep well. The next morning at 11AM both men suddenly died. This made the wifes very nervous. They didn’t report the incident to the local authorities. Instead they informed the embassy about this case.

Police officers from the post Buk Kok 2 [i](បឹកកក់២; I guess Bung Kok 2)[/i] said that local authorities only received the news by 1PM on January 2 2016 after the South-Korean Embassy informed them. They immediately co-operated with the police experts and went to the house to find the 2 men dead with cuts on their chests, caused by fingernails. They didn’t make any final conclusions yet. As a first impression it can be concluded that both men died because of a reaction of the medicines injected by and the serum infused by their wifes. However, this is only a first impression and the experts are still doing research and a biopsy.
