Two Africans and a Cambodian Busted Sending Books Full of Drugs to Australia

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.

Took them one year to figure out she was just working in the place? Well played competent authorities, now she just need to pay for the food she had in prison and she's free to go back to the KTV :good:

I always wonder why those packages always wight slightly less than a kilo.

I mean if I'd buy a kilo of such a chemical waste product I would at least expect 10gr free on top of it. How much of a cheap Charlie one has to be to cheat kilo buyers out of 7 gramms lol...
Gosh even my 10 euro bags of weed come with 10% free bonus usually (europe).

I can't imagine that there are legal limits reasoning this phenomena at this range...

But what do I know, never have been a kilo buyer myself

The sentencing in most countries is determined by the quantity, often a kilo, quantity limit greatly increases penalty.

Makes sense somehow, just got curious because often the amount is then again round about in the articles again, and I would assume a few grams make less difference than 'other circumstances', but what do I know...

One of the convicts, Cotel, a Nigerian Sierra Leonen, is the same age today as he was 19 months ago. So, all going well, he'll still be 39 when he gets out. He doesn't look 158, so February 29 is out.

They're not shy in handing out these hefty sentences, possibly because neighbouring countries have the death penalty, and lashings that have to heal in a jail.

It's all very depressing. Behave.
