Cleaver Attack Interrupts Drinking Party

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Khmer party etiquette: Bringing your cleaver with you to a drinking party is not polite, but using it to hack the other guests is downright rude.

Cambodia News (Pursat Province): At 5:00 pm on January 9, 2023, in Prek Tavong village, Pursat province, a 45-year-old man, Hol Sokun also called Kuch, was attacked with a cleaver by a 27-year-old man, Kem Theara, also called Tak.

According to the host, 36-year-old Phan Rien, he had invited the men to a drinking party at his house. But while they were drinking, the two men started to argue, and then Hol Sokun threw a glass of beer over Kem Theara, which made him angry.
After that, Kem Theara went back to his house and came back with a cleaver, which he used to attack Hol Sokun on the back of the head, making a bloody cut in his skull of about 5cms long.

The other drinking partners then called the police, and they got Kem Theara arrested and taken away to cool off.
