Cambodian police said today that they had arrested a construction worker for the killing of an Australian man at a popular seaside resort late last year.
John Edward Thompson, 47, was clubbed to death with wooden sticks in a robbery late December in the southern town of Sihanoukville.
Kol Phally, a local deputy police chief, told AFP by telephone on Wednesday that the 20-year-old was arrested earlier this week, and was believed to be one of three construction workers who committed the crime.
"He confessed to police that he killed the Australian man during a robbery attempt," Kol Phally said, adding that police were hunting for the two other suspects.
