A spoiled man’s hunger turned to anger after he returned home to find his mother hadn’t prepared dinner in Kandal on Tuesday.

The peckish man became peevish when his mother said she was busy feeding the cow and questioned why her son’s wife didn’t cook.

Perhaps he blamed the kitchen for not magically creating food, because after he struck his mother, he turned his misdirected rage at the cookery itself, destroying the kitchen in an incoherent rampage.
