Infuriated lover targets own inanimate objects, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A jealous husband turned attempted arsonist in Phnom Penh on Monday, aiming his unrestrained rage on his own rental room.

The furious firebug accused his flirtatious wife of seeing other men, a charge that understandably produced a spousal spat.

Angered by the argument and his adulterous suspicions, he approached the vacant room with a bottle of gasoline, intent on burning it down.

Fortunately, fastidious security guards prevented him and sent the aspiring arsonist to commune police.
