Calgary forensic psychiatrist Dr. Liya Xie concluded Sok was in a “state of delirium” at the time he strangled Huon and was therefore suffering from a mental disorder.
Xie also concluded Sok’s delirious state was the likely result of his long-term occupational exposure to toxic heavy metal combined with the acute toxicity from the inhalation of the fumes of the burning “magic” belts.
Xie’s conclusions were backed up by later testing of Sok’s blood which revealed he had “excessive amounts” of certain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and manganese.
As well, he likely suffered acute heavy metal poisoning at the time of the killing from trying to melt on the stove “magic” metal belts from Cambodia which he and his wife had been wearing in an effort to help her get pregnant.

ah ok. a different heavy metal.
You are correct about the article skipping certain details, about which country. They were rather vague with that. This is definitely an odd story, but it seems that there were many warning signs that were overlooked. Even if they weren't completely overlooked, actions could/should have been taken by those who cared for her.
As well, he likely suffered acute heavy metal poisoning at the time of the killing from trying to melt on the stove “magic” metal belts from Cambodia which he and his wife had been wearing in an effort to help her get pregnant.
Personally, I disagree with the assessment of him not being held criminally responsible. Even if this is caused from a delusional state brought on by toxic metals, he caused the toxins to be released within his own apartment. He should not only be held criminally responsible for her death, but he should also be held criminally responsible if anybody else in that apartment building has had any type of reaction from the toxic fumes he caused to enter into their air.
According to court documents, the Cambodia-born man developed heavy metal toxicity from being exposed to harmful vapours while working at a city scrap yard.
Its entirely possible that without either the scrap yard exposure, or the acute exposure in his appartment, this man might have merely become ill , rather than flipping out. With both he was screwed from the get go. Perhaps the fact that this gentleman had been exposed to harmful vapours over a long period at work, meant that he didnt realise the potency of what he was burning.

Healthy kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin which stimulates the bone marrow to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. As the kidneys fail, they produce less erythropoietin, resulting in decreased production of red blood cells to replace the natural breakdown of old red blood cells. As a result, the blood carries less hemoglobin, a condition known as anemia. This can result in:
Feeling tired and/or weak
Memory problems
Difficulty concentrating
Dizziness
Low blood pressure
