The trio was arrested by anti-drug police in April in Chom Chao commune, after which police seized two small packages of crystal methamphetamine.

Deputy prosecutor Kol Bun said on April 3, police arrested Mr Sobin and confiscated 11.41 grams of meth from him. Mr Sobin then aided police in a sting operation.

Mr Sobin called an unknown woman, the drug ringleader, who then hired a Nigerian man to deliver more drugs to him.
“The Nigerians were arrested after they gave the package of drugs to undercover police,” said Judge Vannak.
Judge Vannak added that after their arrests, police seized 29.89 grams of meth from the Nigerians.

At yesterday’s trial, Mr Sobin admitted his misdeeds, telling the court he had purchased the drugs seized by police to sell to a client in Stung Meanchey commune.“The reason why I did this business was because it was easy to make good money,” he said.

Mr Sobin then requested the court reduce his sentence. The two Nigerian men denied the allegations...

a package of soap !?!?!

I am not sure, if they understand, that with telling a so stupid lie to the court, they can directly tell the judge, that he is a stupid Motherf**cker ! The answer from the court will be clear: maximum sentence !

I hope this guys take 10 years to think about their stupidity.
