DEBT LEADS MEN TO CUT TIES, EACH OTHER
Two friends were seriously injured in Kampong Cham province’s Kampong Cham town last week after an argument between the two ended in stabbing. One man, 23, accused his 25-year-old counterpart of attempting to rob him. The 25-year-old said, however, that he was only demanding money that was owed to him, adding that his friend had been very rude about refusing to settle the debt. Following their verbal confrontation, the two stabbed each other with scissors and were sent to a local hospital with serious injuries.
