ALLEGED RUSTLER ARRESTED IN BATTAMBOBANG
A 35-year-old man in Battambang town was arrested Saturday after he allegedly swiped a villager’s cow and then tried to sell it to another person. The cow’s owner said that she often kept her cow near a field by itself, leaving it alone to chow down on grass while she ventured to the market. But when she returned after her regular shopping trip Saturday, she was shocked to find that her cow had mysteriously vanished. Police later caught the suspect allegedly trying to sell the cow to someone else in the same village. Police have sent the suspect to court and returned the cow to its rightful owner.

LACK OF POLITENESS EARNS MAN A BULLET
A man in Kandal province has been accused of shooting another man in the leg, apparently because the victim was “very rude”, police said. The incident reportedly happened on Sunday, when the victim was walking across a bridge and encountered three suspects. One suspect told police that he politely asked the victim to walk in an orderly manner on the sidewalk. But the victim refused and cursed the suspect. “He was very rude,” the suspect told police. So he decided to shoot him in the leg, police say. Police have sent the three suspects to court and the victim to hospital.
