A would-be mediator found herself an unwitting victim when she tried to intervene in a fight between two neighbours in Kandal province’s Ksach Kandal district on Sunday.

According to police, the woman had attempted to stop a fight between two people when one of the combatants mistook her for his adversary’s wife.

Grabbing a knife, he stabbed her in the back, seriously injuring her. The man fled the scene, and police are on the lookout for the suspect. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
