Stress of bigamy too much for crazed man
An intra-household love triangle in Banteay Meanchey province’s Malai district took a turn for the obtuse on Friday when a 25-year-old man stabbed his two wives and then turned the knife on himself. All three survived, as neighbours heard the commotion and sent them to a local hospital, though one of the wives remains in serious condition. Following the attack, the perpetrator explained that the polyamourous relationship had soured because the two wives never listened to each other, and that he had sought to end the conflict by killing the women and then himself. Police said they had not yet made inquiries about the case.
