MAN ATTACKED OVER 100-RIEL WAGER
A 29-year-old man in Poipet was seriously injured when he was slashed in the knee during a dispute over 100 riels. Police said the victim, a rubbish collector, was playing cards with his alleged attacker, also a rubbish collector, last Thursday. The victim apparently won a bet over 100 riels, but the other man then accused him of cheating. The suspect became so angry that he allegedly took a knife and chopped the victim in the knee. A local NGO transported the victim to hospital, and the assailant has run away.

Authorities say the suspect confessed he intended to rob the lady. He parked his bike in front of the shop. Ostensibly, he came to buy cigarettes, but seeing a good chance, he struck the lady with an axe and knocked her senseless, police say. The man was arrested along with an accomplice, but another man remains on the run.

VICE CRACKDOWN CONTINUES IN CAPITAL
Five women described as prostitutes and one man alleged to be their pimp have been arrested following a Saturday raid on two brothels in Phnom Penh’s Russey Keo district. The district’s governor said the raids followed Prime Minister Hun Sen’s calls earlier this year to step up enforcement on brothels. The governor pledged to continue crackdowns, even if brothels reopen.
