POOR FATHER JAILED FOR STEALING MILK
A man in Phnom Penh who stole milk for his child was sentenced to eight months in prison on Tuesday. Earlier this year, Chab Phearom, 24, stole a can of milk from a shop. The suspect told Phnom Penh Municipal Court that he resorted to stealing because he lacked the money to feed his hungry child. After pleading to the court for a lighter sentence, the court gave him an eight-month sentence instead of the 18 months mandated under the law.
