Heng Pov in 2007By Chiep Mony, VOA Khmer
Original report from Phnom Penh
24 November 2008
A murder conspiracy trial for Heng Pov was postponed Monday until January next year, following a morning in court where the former police chief said he was running out of money to pay his defense.
Heng Pov, who was Phnom Penh police chief until 2006, is serving 58 years in prison on charges stemming from murder, extortion and unlawful detention.
He is facing a conspiracy charge for involvement in the 2003 murder of military police commander Gen. Sao Sokha.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court Judge Iev Kimsry opened the session early Monday, when Heng Pov and his lawyer requested the release of the defendant’s funds, which were frozen after his arrest.
Heng Pov told the court Monday he would no longer answer questions without the release of funds, and attorney Kao Soupha said he could not continue defending his client without more money.
“If the court still wants to try my client, I will not defend this case for Heng Pov, because Heng Pov already told the court that he needs lawyers,” Kao Soupha told reporters following the hearing. “If the court does not release the frozen funds for his lawyers, he will not answer the courts questions.”
In a Nov. 19 letter to Phnom Penh Municipal Court President Chiv Keng, Kao Soupha said Candadia Bank has $938,193 belonging to Heng Pov.

Hok lundy was master mind to kill all included him just lay out and work for them ,so we don't mind to delay as khmer rougr trial ./
even the judge also killer too .cauced playing of delay!!!!!!and shit
it would be fair if money of other leaders are frozen too. Most of their money came from the same sources.
If you killed people you will have to pay the price. You don't have to point finger at someone else.
អាហ៊ីង អាហុក និង អាហោ
អាហ៊ីង (ប៊ុនហ៊ាង) មេចោរប្លន់ដីរាស្រ្ត
អាហ៊ុន មេឆ្កែយួនកញ្ជះ, អាត្រូវរន្ទះបាញ់ដូចគ្នា!
មិនយូរ មិនឆាប់ គង់វិនាស
លិចទូក រន្ទះ ឡានបុកគ្នា
ព្រលឹងវិលវល់ តាមចងពៀរ
នេះជាកម្មពៀរ អាក្បត់ជាតិ
អាពាលហេង ពៅ នៅដេកគុក
ចំណែកអាហុក ងាប់តៃហោង
អាហ៊ុន, អាហ៊ីង, អាហោ ជាមេខ្លោង
នឹងងាប់តៃហោង ឆ្នាំក្រោយហ៎ង... សាធុ... សាធុ... សាធុ...
Heng Pov is a bad cop who'd turn snitch in an attempt to save his own ass. It is too bad for him that the men who he snitched on is the same people that oversee the judicial systems.
Guess you can say...... it's another Karma.
