The victim and the 25-year-old suspect were drinking together since noon, before a verbal argument flared up in Battambang’s Ek Phnom district.
The suspect took up an axe in a bid to end the heated argument, striking the victim down.
The bleeding victim was rushed to hospital and police have arrested the suspect, who will face court.
