Axe-wielding trios from Meanchey seem to be all the rage this week. Three men were arrested in the capital’s southern district on Saturday for using an axe to break into a person’s house.

Although the owner was out of town on holiday, a sharp-eyed neighbour spotted the group hacking away at the door and called police. The three, aged 18, 20, and 30, were arrested and reportedly admitted to the failed break-in. KAMPUCHEA THMEY
