Hun Sen's ex bodyguard and three others confess crime
Yesterday's trial of former Hun Sen assistant Bun Sokha and his three accomplices saw all four confess to brutally beating four victims in a Koh Kong hotel, an incident that was captured on security camera and uploaded to YouTube, NGO officials attending the trial said.
Sokha, 38, the former deputy chief of staff of the prime minister’s bodyguard unit; his bodyguards, Sum Veasna, 37, and Meng Chheangly, 21; and driver Sum Chhaya, 25, admitted their guilt, but Koh Kong Provincial Court judge Huon Many did not render a verdict, saying it would be announced at a later date.
“The four accused accepted what they did wrong and asked for a reduced sentence,” In Kongchit, provincial co-ordinator for the rights group Licadho, said.
“Bun Sokha accepted the charges and told the judge that [he acted] because of his anger when a victim knocked on his door at the hotel. He feared the victim had bad intentions with his wife.”
