PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) – The Ministry of
interior has dismissed the claim by Svay Rieng prosecutor who said
Chhouk Bandith had been arrested Wednesday in Mondulkiri province.
Khieu
Sopheak, spokesman for Ministry of Interior, immediately denied the
statement after it was broadcasted that Chhouk Bandith, former Bavet
governor, had been arrested.
Hing Bunchea, Svay Rieng prosecutor
revealed the information after he heard of the arrest and added that the
police would have to bring Bandith to appear before him before sending
him to jail.
Chhouk Bandith was sentenced last month to one year
and six months in prison on the charges of unintentionally injuring
three women when he opened fired on to protesting workers in Bavet last
year.
Besides ordering the arrest of Bandith after the verdict
announcement on June 25, the Svay Rieng Court also asked him to pay 38
million Reil in compensation to the three victims, Bun Chenda, Nuth
Sakhorn and Keo Nea.
In early 2013, Svay Rieng Court had dropped
the charges against Chhouk Bandith, who was removed from office after
the incident in the Manhattan Special Economic Zone, stating that the
court didn’t have enough evidence.
But in March, the Court of Appeals ordered Svay Rieng Court to reopen and review Bandith’s case.

Clown's state,a mockery to the justice.
Only sub-human that can live under this under world.
They can run,they can hide,but they can't escape.
You can not hide your crime,under your bed.
