Two other persons, including one female, were not charged and released by the court. The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper reported that after the court questioning of 9 persons on 31 May afternoon, Hing Bun Chea, the deputy prosecutor, decided to charge 7 of them for illegal use of arms. After the questioning, the investigation judge decided to temporarily jail the 7 youngsters, while waiting for additional investigation. On 28 May, the youngsters were arrested by the Khan Pram Pi Makara police which also confiscated 5 samurai-type swords. The youngsters were picked up from a rented house in Boeng Prolit commune, Pram Pi Makara district, Phnom Penh City.
