A locksmith from Kandal province was arrested on Sunday, after his boozy behaviour pushed his long-suffering mother’s patience to the limit.

According to his mother, each time the man got drunk, he would swear, shout and damage their property, and she claimed she had frequently asked that he change his ways.

Her patience evaporated, however, when the 32-year-old hit her with a stick, prompting a police complaint and the second-rate son’s arrest.
