Banteay Meanchey – After 2-golden-star general Set Monday (or Set Mande?) and his gang was sent to court on 11 Feb 2012, a search at his house found one rifle and numerous military equipments. In addition, it was found that the 2-golden-star general was also involved in a murder.

The search was led by Ms. Sung Chhorvoan, the deputy-prosecutor for the Banteay Meanchey provincial court, by Men Phirum, the deputy-chief and director of the search department of the military police (PM) of Banteay Meanchey province, and by several PM officers.

The search operation confiscated one rifle, 1 bullet magazine, 10 bullet rounds, 2 AK-47 magazines and 3 sacks of military equipments including 46 items.

Currently, the tribunal has decided to detain the 2-golden-star general and his gang at the Banteay Meanchey provincial jail. In addition, the provincial military police division is performing its investigation on the murder of 24-year-old Khieu Phanit, a 3rd year student at the Chamcar Dong University, who was the former boyfriend of the 2-star-general’s girlfriend. Khieu Phanit and the general’s girlfriend were lovers for 4 years. The body of Khieu Phanit was found in a sack thrown under the Kralor bridge in Mongkol Borey district. He was murdered under mysterious circumstances.
