2 Russian Men and Ukrainian Woman Arrested for 20Kg Drug Traffic

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.

Judge: How do you plead?

Defendents: Not Guilty.

Judge: Stifled laughter

Prosecution: We caught them sending drugs to the UK.

Judge: Well done, good job.

Prosecution: The prosecution rests.

Judge: See you all in April when I will announce my verdict of guilty.


Judge leaves in plenty of time for his 11am tee-off.
Given that Cambodia doesn’t have jury trial, I doubt their court procedures are as complicated as they are in the West, including innocent until proven guilty.

That's a hot time of the day to be teeing off; should have cleared tomorrow's hearings and got out at 6am.

The rest is plausible.
