King Father Norodom Sihanouk was elected head of State in April 1941 but abdicated in March 1955 in favour of his father. afp

Two would-be thieves failed in spectacular fashion on Wednesday in the capital’s Boeung Keng Kang II commune as they tried to snatch a handbag.

Their unsuspecting target was strolling with her husband and son when two men zoomed up on their moto and made a grab for her purse.

His accomplice, however, managed to slip through the cracks of the crowd.
