Overview

• Jessica Cariad Hopkins, 34, was found late Friday with multiple stab wounds in a park near Phnom Penh’s Koh Pich in the Chamkarmon district, according to authorities.
• Police identified the suspect as Kidikila Nganda Glodie, 33, a Congolese national who was arrested about 1.5 miles from the scene at a beauty salon, with video showing her in handcuffs.
• Investigators say Hopkins and Glodie were roommates who rode a motorbike to the park before a confrontation, and witnesses reported the victim was knocked down and stabbed in the throat.
• Detectives recovered a knife near the body, and officials say Glodie confessed to acting out of jealousy over an alleged affair with her boyfriend; local reports indicate a murder charge is expected with a possible 10–15 year sentence.
• The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is supporting Hopkins’s family, and police questioned witnesses who had spoken to media before allowing them to leave.
