Cops arrested 33-year-old Glodie less than 24 hours after the murder.
Local police found her in Zola Salon in Daun Penh at 4:30pm on Saturday – about 1.5 miles away from the scene of the horrific crime.
Footage showed Glodie being taken away in handcuffs as she was led out of the salon.
Jessica, originally from Harpenden, Herts. but believed to be living in Siem Reap, was reportedly staying at a rented property in the Chroy Changvar district at the time of her death.
Two witnesses who allegedly saw the brutal stabbing take place were “yelled” at by a top police officer after they told local media what they saw.
The two female witnesses later cooperated and were allowed to leave after they were quizzed by cops, authorities said on Facebook.
An FCDO Spokesperson told The Sun: “We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Cambodia and are in contact with the local authorities.”
