Need to remember that face.
He doesn't look quite like someone who just hacked a woman to death with a machete, but there is something about the determination in his face that makes you not want to be on the receiving end of whatever mental illness running the show.

Normal people would have slept on any repercussions and would have forgotten about it the next morning.

Problem is; druggies don't sleep at night.

Bigger problem- many people with certain dependencies obsess about minor things or the last thing that pricked an interest, and have skewed priorities.

Awful. She was probably right about that and I guess it wasn't a secret in the village. But then she shamed him by calling him out.
RIP.

Not making excuses for him in any way shape or form, but imagine being so high on drugs that you genuinely had no idea what you were doing, and not only that, when you 'came down' had no recollection of what had gone on. Only to then be told that you'd hacked a woman to death and were facing the rest of your life in prison.

Maybe it didn't happen in that way to him but it must have happened to someone at some point.

RIP to the poor woman.


...also, why pixellate his wrists? Someone should start a thread on bizarre photo pixellation in Cambodia. I'm sure it would fill many pages.

Handcuffs are so graphic.

I believe him, because a druggie (esp. a tukkaw user) would *NEVER* overreact like this, only a sober man would hack a woman to pieces for being called a drug user!
