Police say the 19-year-old was feuding with his fellow Anlong Veng villagers before he came to their home on Monday, nabbed 50,000 riel, or about $12, and put a match to their walls – all while they were inside. The blaze was quickly extinguish­ed and alerted authoritie­s found the apoplectic arsonist in the next village before they took him to a holding cell to wait for his day in court.
