The story of a Chinese man who claimed he was imprisoned and used as a “blood slave” that was widely reported last month was a hoax, according to Cambodian police.
Cambodian police informed the Chinese embassy on Monday that their investigation revealed the blood slave case was fabricated, according to a statement from the embassy.
In mid-February a Chinese man’s claim that he had been imprisoned and had his blood excessively drained and sold by a gang in the Cambodian city of Sihanoukville made international headlines.
