Meanchey district debtor owes wife an apology
A 41-year-old man was arrested in the capital’s Meanchey district on Friday for hitting his wife in the face with a wooden stick after she demanded that he repay a bank loan. The victim said she had made the plea to her husband after a bank employee visited their home and demanded that the loan be repaid. Her husband, however, had squandered the loan on alcohol and was unable to repay it. When the woman lamented this state of affairs upon his return home, he flew into a rage and attacked her with the stick. The victim was hospitalised following the incident and the man was detained by police pending charges. RASMEY KAMPUCHEA
