MAN ATTACKS HIS OWN MOTHER WITH A ROCK
A 26-year-old man from Banteay Meanchey’s Poipet town was arrested after he beat his mother in the face with a rock when she couldn’t provide drinking money in small denominations, police said. The incident occurred on Wednesday, when the man asked his mother, who is 45, for money before heading out to buy some wine. His mother promised to give him the money, but she did not have any small notes. The man then beat her with the rock, causing her severe injuries, police said. Neighbours said the man, who works as a day labourer in Thailand, caused problems and picked fights with his mother whenever he drank. He has been sent to provincial police headquarters for questioning.

PRISTITUTES USED AS ASSAULT ACCESSORIES
Two men looking to buy sex were ambushed on Wednesday night in a scheme that apparently involved their prostitutes, police said. The men, aged 30 and 28, were driving two prostitutes to a guesthouse to have sex with them when the women abruptly jumped off their motorbikes. Shortly thereafter, a group of eight men appeared from the side of the road and beat the two men badly before stealing their money and mobile phones. The two victims were sent to a private clinic. Police say they have since arrested all eight men as well as the prostitutes involved in the attack.
