'Creepy clown' killed by landmine

Officials in the Cambodian town of Samroang have confirmed that a man wearing a clown mask has died after he stepped on a landmine. Police say the man was brandishing a machete in an attempt to scare residents, who chased him into the jungle, where the explosion occurred. The man was believed to have recently returned to Cambodia from the US, where he had been studying.
