A 57-year-old Banteay Meanchey woman is miraculously recovering in hospital after being stabbed 11 times on Sunday evening.

Police said the unprovoked attack came at the hands of a suspected drug addict who had recently returned from working in Thailand.

The day before the stabbing, he had attempted to attack the woman’s elderly father, though authorities have not determined any established problem between the two. KOH SANTEPHEAP
