SIX ARRESTED IN TEACHER'S KILLING
Tuol Sangke commune police arrested six people on Tuesday who are suspected of killing and robbing 29-year-old teacher An Chan Tola, who worked at Russey Keo High School, of a motorbike, a cell phone and a diamond ring. The victim's body was then thrown into a lake in Ponhea Leu district in Kandal province. The high school teacher was tricked by his girlfriend, Seng Nana, who asked him to come to her house for dinner and then colluded with the other five perpetrators to strangle him, police said.

Thirty-five-year-old Y Pock was sentenced to 11 years in prison and was fined 5.7 million riels on Tuesday for stealing motorbikes.

Udong district police received five separate complaints about the perpetrator.

LOVERS' QUARREL LEADS TO SUICIDE
An 18-year-old woman died at hospital on Monday one hour after she drank poison to kill herself. The event happened in Bati district, Takeo province, after the victim had been married for just one month. Her 19-year-old husband said he and his wife had argued after she asked him to borrow 50,000 riels. He refused because he was using all his savings - 120,000 riels - to cultivate his rice field.
