Man arrested over theft of friend’s bike
An 18-year-old man was arrested in Phnom Penh’s Dangkor district on Saturday after he sold a motorbike that he had borrowed from a friend. The victim said his friend had asked to borrow his motorbike so he could go and buy some chicken to go with the wine they were sharing. The victim said he filed a complaint to police after he “waited such a long time” for his friend to return with the chicken and realised he was not coming back. Police said the suspect had already sold the motorbike by the time he was arrested.

A 22-year-old man died immediately when a tree he was cutting down fell on him in Battambang province’s Kors Kralor district on Saturday. The victim’s widow said she had told her husband not to fell the tree, which he had wanted to remove from their farmland property for some time. The woman said, however, that her husband was “very stubborn” and had insisted that the tree had to go. Police said the victim “had no technique” and was “not very careful” in cutting down the tree.
