A clothes thief in the capital’s Russey Keo district ended up more than a fashion victim on Sunday when he was beaten in the head with stones by villagers who apprehended him.

The man and an accomplice, known for stealing everything from underwear to shoes, were stopped by villagers, who had worked out their game.

One of the suspects fled, but villagers set upon the other, pounding his skull with stones before turning him over to police. KOH SANTEPHEAP
