Deum Ampil reported that this particular general was invited to a wedding party at Boeng Meas Restaurant in Phnom Penh on 31st July. He launched into a rage by breaking numerous plates and firing two bullets into the ceiling after allegedly upset that a waitress did not serve him properly. His rage had sent wedding guests and restaurant staff ducking for cover and running in a stampede to escape to the streets.
