Local news media reported that the son of 3-star general Sao Sarin, the deputy chief of staff and navy chief, was arrested by the Phnom Penh military police (PM) and sent to jail at 5:30 PM on 23 March. The general’s son is known for shooting at will in public. According to the Kampuchea Thmei newspaper, this young man has the habit of shooting wildly because he is the son of a general. Sao Sarat, the arrested man, is 29-year-old, he is a navy officer based in Kien Khleang. After the arrest of Sao Sarat, the authority confiscated a Braha handgun and several rounds of bullet shells to be used as proof. According to a PM officer, Sao Sarat is known as wild shooter and he has done so many times in the past after he became drunk. He can do this because he relied on his powerful 3-star general father and nobody would dare arrest him. However, during his latest shooting on 21 March in front of the Paris restaurant located on Kampuchea Krom street, he lost his luck and he was arrested by the PM.
