Grandfather murdered over feeding ducks.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

A 24-year-old-farmer was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly murdering his 77-year-old grandfather with a hoe in anger at being cursed for abusing ducks.
Major Sim Bunthoeun, the deputy chief of Prey Kabas district police, said Soeng Sam became angry at the ducks for eating food in the house he shared with his grandfather.

He then kicked them as his grandfather was feeding them, killing one.

Mr. Soeng, upset at the death of the duck, cursed Mr. Sam. The two then argued.
“He then took a hoe and hacked his grandfather’s face and head several times, causing serious wounds. “The victim died as neighbors took him to the district health center.

“The suspect was arrested by local police while he was trying to escape from the house,” he added.
Mr. Sam was charged yesterday by the Takeo provincial court prosecutor with intentional murder and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted.
