Cambodian man butchers his cow blamed for causing 6 traffic deaths

AP - 1 hour 26 minutes ago

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A Cambodian villager has finally solved how to
avoid further trouble from his cow that allegedly caused six traffic
deaths this year _ he has butchered it.

"The man has butchered the cow and sold its meat so that it will stop
causing him more problems in the future," Pin Doman, a police chief on
the outskirts of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, said Tuesday.

He said Kop Ri, the owner, killed his cow on Sunday.

Police took the cow into custody after a 66-year-old motorcyclist last
week crashed into the white, 1.5-meter (5-foot) tall animal, which was
standing in the middle of a dark road. The man died from his injuries.

Relatives of the deceased man had retrieved the cow from the police
station to insure its owner would pay them US$1,200 (?840) for the
death of the motorcyclist.

But last Friday, the relatives returned the cow to its owner after
giving up hope of getting any compensation, Pin Doman said.

He said they have also dropped their complaint against the cow's
owner, who could have faced a six-month prison term under a new
traffic law that holds people responsible for accidents caused by
their animals.

Earlier this year, the same cow was responsible for another traffic
accident that resulted in the deaths of five people and several
injuries, when a truck veered off the road and crashed as its driver
tried to avoid the animal.
