Dancing ‘gangsters’ kill MC with timber
A group of “gangsters” beat a 30-year-old man to death with a piece of wood in Stung Treng’s Thala Barviat district on Saturday. A witness said that the gangsters had enetered a pagoda to dance the night away, but neglected to pay at the door for the privilege. The victim grabbed the nearest microphone and told the men, in front of the crowd, that anyone who wanted to dance had to pay a contribution to the pagoda. Instead of paying, they beat the announcer to death with a metre-length piece of timber. The gangsters fled the scene. KAMPUCHEA THMEY

Man kills himself, police say it’s a ‘small’ issue
A man committed suicide by jumping from a 65-metre-high antenna on Friday because he could not find the money to pay a fine he had incurred for entering his neighbour’s house illegally. The victim’s family said he was fined 3 million riels (US$740) for entering the house in a drunken state in Preah Vihear town on Thursday. He told his wife that he could no longer face the world if he could not come up with the money. Two hours later, he climbed the antenna and his family was unable to stop him from plunging to his death. Police said that this was “a small problem”. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
