Cow Arrested Over Deaths In Cambodia

[WillRiker]

Cambodian police investigating the deaths of at least six people in traffic accidents have arrested a suspect - a cow.

Pin Doman, a police chief based on the outskirts of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, said the animal is thought to have caused a series of crashes over the past year.
He said the cow's owner could also face a six-month prison term under a new traffic law that holds people responsible for accidents caused by their animals.
The white 5-ft tall cow was standing in the middle of a main road on Monday when a 66-year-old motorcyclist crashed into it and died. It is not known whether or not the beast was injured.


Most Cambodian roads are dark at night.

Earlier this year, the same cow was responsible for another traffic accident that resulted in the death of five people and several injuries, when a truck veered off the road and crashed as its driver tried to avoid the animal.
Mr Pin said the cow was being held at his police station.
He said the cow's owner had been warned four times in the past to keep his cattle leashed - and could face prison time if the relatives of those who died decided to initiate legal proceedings
