The Kandal provincial court issued a ruling to detain the former Preah Vihear deputy provincial governor, and his younger brother, for intentionally setting up a fire, and colluding with each other to set a fire. Tuo Thien Tey and his younger brother were arrested by the police on 10 December in Banteay Meanchey province, and they were sent to the Kandal provincial court on 11 December so that legal measures can be taken against them. After questioning, the court issued a detention order for the two stemming from the charges brought against them by the prosecutor.
