FAMILY TORN APART BY CROSSBOW ATTACK
An intergenerational family conflict in Siem Reap province has ended in the death of a 44-year-old man, allegedly at the hands of his 26-year-old crossbow-wielding son. Police said the attack happened Sunday, when the two men were drinking together. The suspect asked his young son to bring him a cigarette. The son refused, police said, and his willfulness enraged the suspect, who allegedly started beating the boy on the spot. The 44-year-old man objected to this and began beating on his son-in-law. In response, the son-in-law grabbed a crossbow and allegedly shot the victim in the chest.
