Bad speech leads to death by veggie knife
A 55-year-old man was slashed to death in Battambang province’s Bavel district on Thursday, in what police have called an act of “vindictiveness”. Police said the suspect, 49, and the victim were at a dance party, where the victim made a speech that was not to the suspect’s liking. The suspect then grabbed a vegetable knife and slashed the victim three times. Police said the man confessed to the attack, saying that he was angry because the victim always mocked him, and that they had been arguing “for several days”.
