3 charged in hit and run that killed London man in April

London police have laid charges against three people in relation to a fatal hit and run that took the life of 38-year-old Thou Rom in April. 

Rom (also known as Roeun) was struck and killed by a car while walking near Adelaide and Nelson streets on the evening of April 23. Police said the driver fled the scene, but they recovered the vehicle involved, a silver 2022 Volkswagen Passat. 

Rom was at his nephew's house that April evening when he stepped out to buy a pack of cigarettes at a nearby convenience store. He was struck by the vehicle just after 9:30 p.m. and died in hospital.

A relative told CBC News that Rom was a Londoner who graduated from Beal secondary school and worked in construction. He was also a husband and father of three girls. 

"He is the kind of guy that would love to have fun with his family. He never bothered anybody," said Nat Chean, Rom's brother-in-law. "He was trying to learn to play music, and he was always smiling."

Rom is survived by his wife, three daughters aged eight, 10 and 17, along with his mom and three sisters.
