Phnom Penh - A Cambodian student was being sought in connection with the shooting murder of his teacher on the school grounds and the rape of his victim's girlfriend, police said Monday. Police in Sameky Meanchey district of central Kampong Chhnang province, about 100 kilometres from the capital, said Pel Phirun, 35, was shot dead in the early hours of Saturday morning.
"The shooting happened during a musical performance on the school campus so no one heard the shot and the crime was not reported until later. The girl was abducted and only returned home the next day distraught and with no clothes," district police chief Chim Buntheoun said by telephone.
"The case is still open, but we do have a prime suspect who has fled the area and we are searching for him."
The suspect, whose name was not immediately released, was one of the teacher's students, police said. Friends of the couple had reported he was obsessed with the 17-year-old girlfriend of Phirun, who was also not named, and had been accused of stalking them.
"This girl is very beautiful. She is the prettiest girl in the area. Phirun only moved here a year ago but they fell in love so there was jealousy with some people," Buntheoun said.
Premeditated murder carries a 20-year jail term in Cambodia.

Do you see the good job Ah coward Sam Rainsy did to turn our youth west? And there will be plenty where that came from.
Shut up you beak!!!!! 4:10PM
What brain you are? Son of the bitch!
Hey fool, this is a serious issue, today the teacher, tomorrow the parent, and after that our future will be very cloudy.
Hey smart-ass 4:10 if you're so clever, please explain to all us dumb-asses how Student+murder+teacher= Sam Rainsy turning the youth west
YOU MUPPET!
very typical Hun Sen trait. Jealously and envy. Wanting to have what belongs to others and hurting others to get it. Like what belong to the FUNINPEC party in 97'. How about like the community land that belong to Cambodian highland, how about the sihanoukvilles, the chroy changvar, and other places that belong to Cambodian citizens. Force evictions, no different from what this kid has done. He learn from the best of course.
No doubt the authorities of Cambodia today are a role model for the youth. Cambodia sets up its people to get what they want by use of force. Killing. Who set the best example for that today in Cambodia?
Keat Chong, Hun Sen, Sok An, Hok Lundy, Kep Chuptema etc.
We know these people.
Stop playing dumb, 6:19. In most Asians culture, everyone respect teachers as equal to or greater than parents, especially kids. On the contrary, Westerner see teachers as poor slobs or punching bags for kids. Many teachers in the west have been shots, thrown out of windows, beat up,..., just like many parents have been wasted.
No way, Jose (11:27). Khmer people only abused Ah Khmer-Yuon criminals, and we don't mind Kids follow our role model, but to shot teachers and parents, that's taught by Ah evil westerner trained Sam Rainsy.
