Internet Shop Employee Stabbed to Death in Bathroom, Takhmao, Cambodia, 2017
A 22-year-old internet shop worker was killed in a bathroom at his workplace in Takhmao city, Kandal province, Cambodia, just south of Phnom Penh. On July 2, 2017, a customer who had about $1,100 in online gambling debt followed him into the bathroom and stabbed him twelve times during an attempted robbery. After discovering that the shop's money was secured in a safe, the attacker took the victim's mobile phone. Another customer heard the victim's screams, while CCTV recorded the killer entering the bathroom. The 25-year-old suspect was arrested in Siem Reap province the next day and confessed, according to reporting carried by Khmer Times. |

Re: Internet Shop Employee Stabbed to Death in Bathroom, Takhmao, Cambodia, 2017
I think it's so they can put in a rectal thermometer to estimate the time of death. Rate of temperature loss from the body core is pretty standard and well-documented, so I think they can get the death time within 15 minutes, either in confirmation of witness statements, or to dismiss the statements as untrue. This is only useable in the hours directly after a death. I think once the body is cold and rigor mortis sets in, they use other ways to estimate time of death. (They probably do it as a standard practice, even though this guy probably admitted killing him.) Maybe some of our other death experts can provide better details.
