The palm wine five men were drinking in Takhmao town on Monday was sour and – once they had consumed it – so too were their relations with three other men.

The drunkards approached their rivals to “inquire” about an earlier argument at a wedding party involving the three men and family members of the five.

A heated discussion soon led to a brawl – replete with stones, wooden sticks and injuries – before police arrived to make arrests. NOKORWAT
