COW-TENDING BOY FINDS BODY IN FIELD
Ten people have been in arrested in Kandal province after a boy discovered the body of a 45-year-old man in a field Tuesday. Police said the boy, who tends cows, became suspicious when he became aware of a bad smell. A subsequent police investigation turned up 10 people who a neighbour saw drinking wine together with the dead man days before the discovery. However, all 10 say they have no idea about the man’s death. Police have sent the case to court “to find justice”.

PARENTS PLEASED BY CHILDREN'S ARREST
Police in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district have raided a local gaming shop and detained 15 students after neighbours and their own parents urged officers to crack down. The parents reported being overjoyed their offspring had been arrested. One parent said that her son never studied and seemed to be addicted to playing games. What he wasn’t addicted to, the parent said, was studying. The raid saw the police confiscating 10 gaming consoles, which will be kept at the police station until further notice. The students were to be returned to their parents after receiving a day of “education” at the police station.
