A three-year-old Cambodian girl has died after being doused with acid while sleeping with her grandmother, who was also severely burned in the attack, local media have said.
Relatives suspect the unidentified person who carried out the assault is the jealous wife of a man who works with a female member of the child's family, the English-language Cambodia Daily reported.
Immediately after the January 16 attack, the pair were rushed to a provincial hospital some 100 kilometres from their home in southern Cambodia.
But the child, Thai Tim, died the following morning as family members were trying to negotiate the cost of transporting her to a larger hospital in the capital Phnom Penh, the Cambodia Daily said.
Her grandmother, Thorm Saroeun, suffered burns to 30 percent of her body, the report said.
Acid attacks, while decreasing in recent years, are still a common form of revenge in Cambodia, often committed by jilted lovers.

motherfuckers deserve to be shot. A three year old girl who is so young does not deserve such pain. Those responsible should rot in prison.
Is this a diamond opportunity preserve for Cambodia, Mr. Hun Sen? You said in another article that Cambodian is more safer, Mr. PhD
Jeleousy is such a useless emotion, the ones who have it and embrace it are the idiots with small ego and subconcious of themselves. Pitty, such a shame to take away a young girls life for ones selfishness, bitch.
The one who did this cruelty act onto others, like to this inocent child will not get away. He/she might get away in this lifetime, but will not get away in the after life. You will not escape your sins.
