The Koh Santepheap newspaper reported that on Monday 24 December, i.e. next week, the Phnom Penh municipal court will hold a hearing about the case of Heng Pov, the former police commissioner of the City of Phnom Penh, who imprisoned the owner of the Reatrey Rik Reay (Happy Evening) restaurant to demand a $300,000 ransom. Chheang Huot, the owner of the restaurant and victim, was imprisoned in 2002, and since the arrest of its owner, the restaurant, located near the former T3 prison, closed its door. Since his deportation back to Cambodia after fleeing overseas, Heng Pov was sentenced in several criminal cases, and his current sentence amounted to 40-year of jail time. In the hearing in this additional case which will take place next week, it is not known yet how many more years of jail sentence the court will hand him.
