EERIE PREMONITION COMES TRUE AT PARTY
A 29-year-old man is recovering in hospital after he received a vicious beating during a village dance party in Kandal province Sunday. The victim said that he had been busting loose on the dance floor when an ominous feeling suddenly overcame him: He felt that someone wanted to kill him. So he decided to stop dancing and sat down near some police officers who had joined in for the festivities. When the officers left, a masked man burst onto the scene and beat the victim, who insisted he had no idea why anyone would want to hurt him.
