I'd be curious to know the amount of land in dispute, and if there was an impending sale of the land. You'd like to think it must have been fairly significant for a guy to ax an old lady to death. But nothing is as you'd expect here.

And now who settles the dispute?

Seriously, these kind of needless killings would seem to set off a literal war between families. But does this happen in Cambodia? I know if someone killed a member of my family, especially with an ax, there would be more murders coming.

Judge & executioner!
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
