“We are continuing our investigations. The results have shown that Ms Bambridge, whose body was found floating face up in the open sea near the Thai-Cambodia maritime boundary, some 80kms from Koh Rong is consistent with drowning.

“There is no physical evidence to show there was any other cause beside drowning. There are many questions to be answered as to how she drowned and whether she entered the sea near where her backpack and personal items, including phone were found,” Colonel Sut said.

He added that her body had been released to the family who would be able to repatriate her remains to the United Kingdom soonest possible. Ms Bambridge originated from Worthing, West Sussex, United Kingdom.

Khmer Times on conducting investigations on Koh Rong island said that the tourists on that island, the guest houses did not monitor their guests and were used to guests checking in and not being seen for several days before they re-appeared to check out.

“Ms. Bambridge’s case is the same as she was confirmed missing by the hotel owner who had her passport and was waiting for her to check out. We don’t know where the guests go but often hear that they are at police beach for a couple of nights, partying the whole day and night,” a hotel staff who demanded anonymity said.

Police officials said that the Governor of Sihanoukville, Kuoch Chamroeun, has ordered a full review of the activities at Police Beach and nearby beach areas where rave partied are held, normally patronized by foreigners. / KT Staff / Khmer Times.
