Update on the HM Case

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

At an evidentiary hearing in the Federal Court in Los Angeles, California, last Thursday some final witnesses were called, but they were unable to provide the court any evidence that showed Mr. Manet or those working for him had anything to do with the charges...

One interview and one article on the HM case in two top page articles in the Khmer Times this morning. Both seem to say more or less the same thing.
