The late shift proved a perilous one for a capital motodop on Monday. Police said the 27-year-old was working a Sen Sok district corner at about 4am when six men on three motorbikes materialised and demanded his ride.

After punching him in the head and knocking him down, one produced a pistol, which, predictably, sealed the deal. Police are now searching for the suspects. RASMEI KAMPUCHEA
