Sunday's downpour proved to be the final straw for already strained neighbourly relations between two Kampot women.

Runoff from one 45-year-old’s house was landing on her neighbour’s roof, causing a critical deterioration in already frosty relations.

Things soon got physical, with one reportedly wielding a rock against her foe.

Although no one was injured in the precipitation-inspired pugilism, police have the hard task of assigning blame to something other than the rain.
