The Star (Malaysia)

KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered on Friday that fugitive Cambodian police chief Heng Pov not be deported until his habeas corpus application is heard on Oct 17.

He applied to the High Court here on Thursday to stop the authorities from deporting him to his country.

Heng Pov, who has been on the run since August, was arrested for overstaying at a luxury hotel in Subang Jaya on Tuesday.

He is wanted in Cambodia in connection with two assassinations and three attempted murders.

He entered Singapore on July 23, was arrested on Sept 1 for overstaying and was deported on the same day to Malaysia.
