Student, 20, dead after ‘gangster’ street fight
A 20-year-old student died in hospital after a fight between two gangs in the streets of Phnom Penh’s Tuol Kork district on Monday. Police said the victim died from multiple head wounds probably caused by rocks thrown by the rival gang. The victim’s mother filed a complaint to police, but officials said the offenders would not be prosecuted because the deceased was a “gangster” himself. Police said they were searching for the suspects “to give them an education”.

Disgruntled husband burns own house down
A 42-year-old man burned his own house down in Kampong Chhnang province’s Boribor district on Monday. Police said the man was angry because his wife had found a job in Thailand and left him to look after their 3-year-old daughter alone. A neighbour said the man had set fire to his house after filing a complaint to the commune chief about his wife. The neighbour said the man “looked crazy” and noted that it was “not reasonable” to burn your own house down. Authorities extinguished the blaze and no other buildings were affected.
