I don't really understand why two Japanese lads would rob and kill a piss-poor Cambodian taxi driver..? 

Probably because he is ethnic Chinese and they just didn't like him.

Quote (from link):-

 

The two men had crossed the border from Thailand into Cambodia on Saturday.
They reportedly admit to the allegations, saying they are in debt in Japan and need money.

 

Interesting, but they were able to pay to get to Thailand and then cross into Cambodia ($30 Tourist Visa). Maybe they lost money at a casino in Poipet!
