Cambodian police say they have arrested a construction worker for the killing of an Australian man at a popular seaside resort late last year.
John Edward Thompson, 47, was clubbed to death with wooden sticks in a robbery late December in the southern town of Sihanoukville.
Kol Phally, a local deputy police chief, told AFP by telephone on Wednesday that the 20-year-old was arrested earlier this week, and was believed to be one of three construction workers who committed the crime.
