FREEHOLD, New Jersey: Phonarith Chhieng escaped famine, war and communism in Cambodia, only to be beaten and strangled to death in an Asbury Park alley for $40.
On Friday, a state Superior Court jury in Freehold found Alan Frost guilty of murdering the 42-year-old Verizon salesman in 2005, according to the Asbury Park Press newspaper.
Frost, a 46-year-old from Asbury Park, didn't show emotion as the verdict was read, even as tears filled the eyes of Chhieng's relatives.
Authorities say he was a victim of a plot by Frost and others to rob someone to get money to pay drug suppliers.
Benny Matthews has pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and other charges related to the killing. Another suspect, Sharif Bass, is still awaiting trial.

Thank God!
of course, it goes to show that crimes and death can happen anywhere on the planet, and cambodia is no exception either. so, who says that only in cambodia that is dangerous like purse snatching, robbing, stealing, raping, etc..., these things can happen anywhere in the world. so, people stop picking on cambodia about unsafe situation, etc...
All crimes will pay. Either in this life or after death, or both. And those who rejoice in such a time of sorrow will also receive their equal share of punishment.
Yay .... !!!! another one down, 500 thousands more to go!
Thank you, thank you, Lord!
