It was the first case," police spokesman Kirth Chantharith told Reuters, referring to the broadcast of the suicide. Reuters was able to access videos of the suicide on Friday shared by Facebook users. A spokesman for Facebook in Singapore said the company was not immediately able to comment on the Cambodia case.
