An Australian, a Scotsman and an Irishman walked into a bar Thursday night and started bashing each other, municipal police said. A security guard at the establishment – the Walkabout Hotel and Bar on streets 51 and 174 – sustained a head injury while trying to break up the scuffle. Neighbours described the event as not uncommon. The three men were taken into custody and will face charges in connection with the incident, police said.

A fight between two children in Battambang province led to the murder of one of their parents Wednesday, police said. The children were playing together in Phnom Prek district when they started bickering. Though they ultimately quelled their dispute, their parents continued arguing, and police said they believe the father of one stabbed the mother of the other to death. Sareth Viseth, the district’s deputy police chief, said the father, who was drunk, is believed to have escaped into the forest, though he added that police will hunt him down and take him to court.
