I'm a tiny bit obsessed with the Phnom Penh Police Blotter. Here's two great posts from today:
MAN DIES FROM OVERSLEEPING
Sao Sorng, 37-year-old moto-taxi driver, was found dead in his family home in Toeuk La' Ork 3 commune, Tuol Kork district, Phnom Penh at 6am Thursday. The man's neighbours said that they suspect that he died from sleeping too long because they had not seen him for a number of days before his body was discovered. The police said a postmortem examination indicated that Sao Sorng died of natural causes.

VILLAGE CHIEF IS A SORCERER: RESIDENTS
Long Thorn, 51, village chief of Prey Keh village, Preah Vihear commune, Krong Pisey district, Kampong Speu province had to be whisked away to safety by the police after an angry mob accused him of being a sorcerer on October 18. The villagers said that they were angry at Long Thorn because he was stealing their money instead of repaying a loan the village took out from the Farmers' Families Association. According to the police the villagers, armed with axes and knives, attacked Long Thorn at his home. When the police arrived at the scene to stop the violence, the angry mob cut up the loan documents and accused him of being a sorcerer. Long Thorn has been detained at the police station for his own safety.
