Kampot and Pursat provincial police have cooperated to apprehend a fugitive wanted in connection with the November 18 shooting of two security guards working for the So Nguon Group, one of whom died from the injuries.
Kampot provincial police chief Mao Chanmathurith told The Post that a man identified as Heng Yong, a 57-year-old resident of Chhouk district’s Boeung Nimol commune, was captured on the morning of December 23 by members of the Pursat provincial police force after he had eluded police in Kampot for over a month.
“Currently, the suspect has been brought in from Pursat to the Kampot police station for questioning. The Kampot police will build a case file to be referred to the court for further legal procedures,” he said.
