The court case of Heng Pov’s shooting on Kim Daravuth, the former director of Electricite du Cambodge (EdC0 office branch in Chak Angre, which was originally planned for hearing on 28 August, has been postponed. According to the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper, the postponement was due to Article 289 of the new criminal law which requires 3 judges to handle criminal cases. It was the reason why the Phnom Penh municipal court decided to postpone the hearing which was planned for 28 August. Up until now, the Phnom Penh municipal court has brought up 5 cases against Heng Pov, out of these cases, he is now sentenced to 40-year and 6-month of jail time.
