PHNOM PENH - An 21 year old astrologer famous for his fortune telling skills and accurate predictions as well as his powerful magic, who has thousands of followers on social media, didn't see his arrest coming when he was busted by the drug squad on Saturday, 30 September.
Mr Vann Sokseiha, also known as Hora Akineth or “the fire astrologer”, was arrested in a drug raid at his residence in Tuol Kork district’s Boeng Sralang commune with 2.68 grams of crystal methamphetamine and other drug-related material.

However, Dam Chhoeun, the deputy chief of the Interior Ministry’s anti-drug police department, expressed his admiration as he described Mr Sokseiha's use of magic powers during the police raid : He said, “His magic is good. When officers tried to arrest him, the handcuffs automatically released several times but he did not flee.”

Wonder why they arrested him in the first place ?
I predict he will tell the judge's fortune, and then be released by a miracle.

Hint to cops . ... don't use the handcuffs you find in the perpetrators home... even if they are fluffy and pink.

Fortune teller admits to dealing drugs
A well known fortune teller has gone on trial in Phnom Penh Municipal Court after being caught with nearly three grams of crystal methamphetamine.

Vann Sokseiha 22, also known as the fire astrologer Hora Akineth, was charged by the court prosecutor with drug trafficking.
Mr Sokseiha went on trial on Saturday.

Presiding Judge Vann Senvisoth said the accused was arrested in September last year by Interior Ministry anti-drug police at his rented house in Tuol Kork district’s Boeng Sralang commune.
Judge Senvisoth said police seized 2.68 grams of crystal methamphetamine and other drug materials from him.

Dam Chhoeun, deputy chief of the anti-drug department at the ministry, said Mr Sokseiha was famous for his magic. People knew him through his Facebook account. He said that before his arrest, his magic performances had been posted on Facebook and YouTube. These showed him being unharmed despite being shot and hacked with swords.

The posts had been viewed and liked by hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the country.
