The 31-year old Daphna Beerdsen was found dead in her home in Phnom-Penh, Cambodia on Monday. She had stab wounds on her body. Her 18-month old baby was wounded and is now in hospital, the ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms. The woman, from Alkmaar, was stabbed six times with a sharp object. The family's nanny found her body and immediately called the emergency services. There were no signs of a break-in. Police in Cambodia have no lead on a suspect, and have made no arrests. There is an investigation to see if the woman was sexually abused. Her daughter is thought to be seriously injured.
