Prime Minister Hun Sen on Tuesday warned a high ranking policeman who interfered in the case of Khe Dara.
On 28 September, 2009, Khe Dara, 30, fired several times and angrily cursed police and journalists in front of Sonsom Kosal pagoda, in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey District. The Phnom Penh Municipal Court to convicted her but the court’s sentence was only on the charge of illegal gun usage, so the premier recommended more charges.
“As I watched a video received from Kuoch Chamroeun, it took more than 3 hours to take the gun off her. This action is very out of the law,” Hun Sen said at graduation ceremony.
The premier warned one unidentified high ranking policeman who intervened in the case. The premier also strongly criticized the woman’s actions.
