Wayne has sustained injuries after being jumped by around 15 Cambodian men.
He is in hospital treated for at least one broken shoulder.
Neighbors were told they should not enter to search for a cow because of Wayne's pit bulls. Wayne left the gate open over the night so that if the cow had gone inside it could go out.
It is false that a neighbor smelled something and notified the police.
The reality is a person known as "Gonk" contacted the police on Facebook and told the story that was in the news about a fugitive hiding and producing narcotics.
Wayne is in a bad condition.

This is actually somewhat dangerous in the modern #FakeNews era. A real newspaper is quoting an expat forum owned by an anonymous person who is not even in Cambodia, and saying "Cambodia-Expats-Online reports."
The problem is that Cambodia-Expats-Online runs a lot of news articles, but they never give sources. They don't give local media sources, don't say if it's been translated or not, and don't provide evidence. I have no problem with them running news stories for discussion, but I think it's very dangerous for them to run story after story with no sources to back them up. Khmer440 is not a newspaper, and I really hope nobody writes "according to Khmer440." They can write "according to an anonymous source on the popular expat forum Khmer440.com ...", that would be fine, but that's shoddy and disgraceful reporting on the Daily New's part (shocking).
I guess you haven't noticed, but CEO's News Team has become quite the source for Cambodia news that makes it to the top trending news and media sites, and we have been using the last 5 years to establish ourselves as pretty damn dependable, and get quoted often in all sorts of stories. You make it sound like we have no credibility, and even go as far as to say you "hope nobody writes 'according to Khmer440'," which to me is just retarded to hear a website owner who tries to cover the news say. I don't know what your members think khmer440's fate is when the admin has made it clear that they don't want other international news agencies to give them any trust or authority on the news stories they cover and hope they don't get quoted as a trustworthy site. Well, you sure have been getting exactly what you ask for, LoL (and so have we).
Our CEO News Team (which includes me too of course) take a lot of pride in bringing news from Cambodia and the region into English that people can depend on, and we love that we have gained the trust of the public enough to quote us time and time again. More often than not we have multiple sources for our news stories, and we strive to be as accurate as we can. In 5 years we have never gotten anything terribly wrong that I can recall. And if we ever do, we will be very quick to correct it. (Yes, we have definitely gotten some small details wrong along the way, but what news agency on the planet hasn't? And we are quick to correct them, often when our members point it out or provide us updates, which we appreciate.)
You make it sound as if there are news agencies that are 100% dependable. Are there? I think that mindset is the true danger in, as you call it, 'the modern #FakeNews era.' You've heard of The Phnom Penh Post, correct? Do they pass your 'reliability' test? If so, that's ironic that you would speak so poorly of CEO News, as I recall The Phnom Penh Post running 2 stories very recently that seems to have been 'fake news.' They published that an Australian bomb expert was killed in a military exercise and they also reported that 2 villagers were killed in land disputes. These were both last month. Both stories were published and both appear to have turned out to be wrong.
You say we don't provide evidence. Strange, but I don't believe there are very many news articles in existence that provide 'all the evidence' you need to be 100% sure that the reporting is accurate. I think everyone in the entire world needs to realize that when you read an article, whether it's from The Guardian, The New York Times, Huffington Post, Cambodia Expats Online, BBC, The Phnom Penh Post, you need to know that no matter how much research, evidence gathered, images, videos, testimonies, etc, are provided in the articles, it could very well have mistakes in it or have something wrong.
We sometimes can't verify a story enough for our standards, and we simply decide not to publish it. Or we can post it in our 'General Chatter' section for discussion's sake. Also, you don't know how often big name news agencies reach out to us privately to confirm things. Sometimes they use the info we give them, and sometimes they don't. Hell, one of us even had a phone interview with BBC about the porno dancers in Siem Reap, and that was even a huge international story that one of our CEO members posted, and we are blessed to have so many contributing members as well.
So I know you think that big news agencies quoting 'CEO News reports that...' is DANGEROUS, but I think you're just being a bit silly. It wasn't that long ago that I remember khmer440 always being quoting in the news, but Scobienz also made it clear that he had no interest in this site being in the news.
So again, we take a lot of pride in and have a lot of fun chasing news stories and providing them for the public, and have clearly been earning a lot of people's trust over the years. We take reporting and translating the news very seriously, and if you don't do that here, that's your community's loss. I love how it's somehow and insult that the owner of CEO is obsessed with promoting the site to grow our community, and now you are complaining that news organizations take us seriously and often use us as sources. We do our best and are always working on ways to improve our news reporting, and love that we have grown so much. I've said this on here before, but CEO is very entertaining to me and clearly a lot of others as well, and expanding our website to put even more focus on the news is only something that the khmer440 diehards would somehow turn into a negative thing, LoL.
You doubted the cow part of our story, saying it was only reported on CEO. Links were later provided here, proving your doubts wrong and our reporting correct. You first posted that Wayne a fugitive. Then you deleted 'fugitve' in your title. You guys are the ONLY English press (sorry, I guess I shouldn't call you 'press,' as you ONLY want to be nothing more than a discussion forum) not highlighting that he's a fugitive. Some of you here are biased beyond belief. Wayne has had it out for me for a long time (I'm not going to go into it, but yes, he has threatened me and my family numerous times, and if there are people out there who still don't believe it, then so be it), and you guys are so biased that you practically paint him a saint, and even try to paint CEO and myself in a bad light over all this, even trying to suggest our news is somehow bullshit, when even the Phnom Penh Post seems to have posted 2 fake stories last month, and the cow details have since been shown to be accurate.
Even The Guardian used CEO as a source about the pornographic dancers in Siem Reap recently. They are considered pretty legit, no?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... ays-lawyer
And most recently several Indonesian news sites used us as a source when that American killed his Indonesian wife last week:
https://kumparan.com/@kumparannews/pere ... di-kamboja
https://today.line.me/id/pc/article/Per ... oja-VVNWNl
https://news.okezone.com/read/2018/03/2 ... im-kamboja
http://cikalnews.com/read/43877/30/3/20 ... mi-sendiri
https://www.viva.co.id/berita/dunia/102 ... di-kamboja
So, if you think it's so ridiculous that all these news sites around the world use CEO as a source for their stories, you are just showing your bias against us. Nothing wrong with that, but it just seems odd that you would say you hope that newspapers don't use your own site for news. I guess we run our sites differently, that's all. I am extremely proud of our community and think it's great that we have consistently been proving ourselves a trustworthy news source not only in Cambodia, but for the rest of the world as well. All of us are constantly working on creative ways to improve our community, and I'm not just talking about our Mod Team/News Team either, I'm talking about our members as well. We listen to them and do whatever we can to give them what they want.
It really seems like you're trying hard to discredit me and our news, but I think our reporting accuracy is on par with other major news sites, so I'd guess the only reason you are saying that is because we are competitors.
And for the record, I'm someone who likes to get details right, and will sometimes spend hours to confirm the smallest details of a story, as we always want our articles as accurate as humanly possible. Speaking of getting all of the 'details' correct, how about my promise I made to Wayne last month via PM, that he has since posted here:
"I typically try to avoid doing exposes on friends or people I know, but if you really want to continue messing with me for no reason, then you can be 100% certain I will be running a very interesting story about a British fugitive that is wanted for violent crimes back home and has been hiding out in Vietnam and Cambodia for years. He is also a member of the forums, but since it's against the rules to 'out' this criminal, I won't connect him to his usernames, but you can be sure I will be doing EVERY thing I can to make sure this story gets as wide of a reach as possible, not only in Cambodia and the region, but also back home and literally will do whatever I can to make sure this story with identifying pics gets put online everywhere it can."
Does that sound like it was written by someone who doesn't care to get every single detail correct or someone who doesn't deliver on their promises? Ok, fine, I left out the cow, LoL, but it should be pretty clear that I'm someone who is obsessed with accurate details and can be trusted to deliver the truth.
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.
