Less than a week after one of his Cabinet members was arrested, another of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s coterie has run afoul of the law.
A man identified as a personal assistant to the premier and a member of his personal bodyguard unit was detained for questioning yesterday for allegedly using a gun, an electric baton and handcuffs to attack four men, an official said yesterday.
Lay Menglaing, chief of the minor crime police office in Koh Kong province, said three of the premier’s bodyguards were also detained over the incident.
“The prosecutor asked me to file the report and evidence in order for the court to take legal action,” Lay Menglaing said. “We have to obey the law regardless if he’s a senior official or someone else.”
He told the Post that Bun Sokha, who he referred to as deputy chief of staff of the Hun Sen bodyguard unit, and his guards had beaten the four victims on Sunday evening at the Koh Kong City hotel in Khemarak Phoumin town.
