March 18, 2007 The Phnom Penh Municipal Court will sentence Heng Peov, former Phnom Penh police chief, and his associates over three charges next week, local media said on Saturday.
The court is to give the verdict against them on March 21 over their kidnapping of a South Korean for ransom, on March 22 over their illegal detention of a woman in police cell, and on March 27 over their shooting of an electricity official who then became disabled for life, said the Kampuchea Thmey Daily newspaper.
Meanwhile, a court source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that Heng Peov was still involved in two more cases of attempted killings of Soa Sokha, military police commander of Cambodia, and Thong Uypang, publisher of the Koh Sothephea Daily newspaper.
In December 2006, Heng Peov, then 49 years old, was sentenced by the court in absentia to 18 years in jail for masterminding the murder of a Phnom Penh court judge, Sok Sethamony, in 2004.
He was later deported from Malaysia back to Cambodia and is imprisoned in Prey Sor Prison at the outskirts of Phnom Penh.
The one legged man served as police chief of Phnom Penh until late 2005. Then he was promoted to under-secretary of state at the Interior Ministry and personal adviser for Prime Minister Hun Sen. Before the investigation started against him, he managed to fled overseas and stayed in Singapore and Malaysia in tandem.

Just let you know (commentators)
Many high ranks military and police
was killed, but the administration keep their names and ranks for sales. Heng Poeuv is one of them.
So Heng poeuv is not real one.
Why does not the fucking PP Court sentence Ah HOK Longyuon?
This is to cover Hun Sen and Hoc Lundy's murder.... It is easy to accuse anybody when you are yourself responsible.... Anyway, the court is under the order of those 2 persons who have only one fear is to be at the place of Heng Peo!!! So they accuse him to finally have a "more normal reason to all those unsolved murders..."
Look at the Khmer Rouge court.... They will be never judged as long as Hun Sen still have power because he was part of them and is fearing that they will talk too much if they go to court.... and so to loose his power..... All the people arrested will die one by one before any jugement.
