Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Monday convicted a man of 6 motorbike robberies, a court officer said.
The accused, Kea Vicheth, 27, was arrested and remanded in custody on December 30, 2008, a police source said.
On November 30, 2009, the Phnom Penh Municipal Court held a hearing, the court officer added.
A vice Phnom Penh Municipal Court Judge and a Committee of the Court Ke Sakhon, representative prosecutor Heang Sopheak, the accused, defense lawyers and local police officers attended.
If found guilty, Kea Vicheth could face decades in prison.
Kea Vicheth said that a Vann Vuthy, another man involved in the case, had sold the bikes.
“I robbed but I did not sell them,” he said, claiming that he received US$100 for a C125. He denied that “I recognized for the twice times.”
I robbed on December 23 and 24, 2008, he stressed.
The gun and radio he used in robberies were also alleged to be Vuthy’s property. All the motos robbed by Vicheth were Honda Dream C125s, a court official said.
Vicheth’s defense asked the court to “research and consider in trustily and reduce to my defendant.”
The trial will conclude on December 14.
