Prisoner killed by fellow inmates in Battambang
A 25-year-old prisoner has been killed after his fellow inmates turned on him on his fifth day in a Battambang prison. Prison officials said the man, who was imprisoned to cure a drug addiction, was “very cruel” and had tried to kill another prisoner, after which his fellow inmates attacked him en masse. Prison officials said they arrived on the scene too late to stop the beating. The man was sent to hospital but died on arrival.

Military official beaten to death for angry look
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in beating a military official to death in an apparently random act of violence in Battambang province’s Banon district on Monday. Police said the two men had admitted to beating the victim, who they had never met before, because he had “looked at them angrily while they were driving”. Police said they were searching for three other men suspected of involvement in the attack, who have so far evaded arrest.
