Phan Sopheak, a member of the Saravoan Pagoda committee, told The Post on Sunday that according to the victim, the suspect arrived at the pagoda on Saturday afternoon by tuk-tuk and stormed into the monk’s room.

He said the woman was angry regarding a water blessing she had received from the monk two years previously.

She claimed the blessing had caused her to have a series of bad luck, Sopheak said.

During the argument, she took out a gun and fired two shots into the air, causing panic in the pagoda.

Shortly afterwards, Daun Penh district police arrived and arrested the woman.

“According to what I heard after the incident, the woman seemed to be suffering from mental illness and was overly superstitious,” Sopheak said.

He said that about two years ago, she and a foreign man came to the pagoda to receive blessings from the monk at Saravoan Pagoda.

Sopheak said the woman claimed that after receiving the water, she and the foreign man began to have trouble in their relationship and her business also suffered problems.

“She apparently consulted a fortune teller who told her the monk who gave her the water blessing had used black magic to make her unlucky. That’s why she came here looking for revenge against the monk,” he said.

Funny the fortune teller would say the monk used black magic...
