Affair leads to acid attack

Kampong Speu provincial police are investigating a lover’s quarrel that turned violent on Tuesday when a 23-year-old garment worker was doused in acid, allegedly by the wife of a man she was in a relationship with. Sam Sak, the chief of the Kampong Speu provincial police’s serious crimes bureau, said yesterday that three people had been arrested after Pheng Sreyla was attacked with acid outside the garment factory where she worked.
 

“We arrested three people who are involved in the case, but they are not the ones who poured acid on the victim,” he said. “We are detaining them at the police station for questioning, but we have not yet set a date to send them to court.”
 

Police believe the garment worker was attacked because of her relationship with another woman’s husband. Both the woman and her husband – who police declined to identify – are at large and police are on the lookout for them.
