Six Chinese people were arrested on Friday suspected of cutting 2 Chinese men with knives. The 6 suspects are employees of a Chinese online casino and the two injured are casino directors.
According to the police report, in the early morning of October 9, six Chinese men and women slashed two Chinese men with fruit knives and pocket knives. The police arrested the 6 suspects and the 2 injured men were taken to hospital for treatment.
Online gambling worker Xiaofang (pseudonym) said that the incident occurred near the entrance of an online casino in Sihanoukville. The two people circled with red in the picture worked as promoters for the online casino. They were expelled from the company around one month ago. There was conflict about payment so they waited near the building for an opportunity to take revenge. One of the injured men is a director of the casino, the direct boss of the two former promoters, and the other victim is a director of another nearby online casino.
According to Xiaofang, the director of the casino was injured less severely, and the director of the other casino sustained more serious injuries. The other casino director's arm was almost cut off and the two were taken to a Thai hospital.
Xiaofang said that several colleagues of the company had dinner with the suspects the day before the attack. Some team leaders went to another room to drink and a few people left. "There were probably too many people present to carry out the attack. They didn't have a gun, otherwise they would attack them on that night", he said.
Many Chinese online casinos that moved to the Philippines last year are preparing to move back to Sihanoukville because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A casino worker told reporters that he had been in Cambodia for two years before but he went to the Philippines after the new year. Now his company is preparing to move back and have applied for visas and are buying plane tickets for the employees. "The boss has spent millions on visas and they plan to return to Cambodia", he said.
Some casino workers also said that many online casinos are preparing to move their promoters back to Cambodia. "Staff can work from dormitories in the Philippines but for promoters it is not good. Many people will come to Cambodia after the Philippines resumes flights", a casino worker said.
