Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Svay Rieng - A provincial court spokesman has said that if the policeman doesn't show up in court this time then they will issue an arrest warrant. He is accused of killing two adults and two children when he drove into their house with a truck in March 2019.

A police officer who allegedly drove his truck into a house killing a family of four in Svay Rieng province’s Svay Chrum district last year has been summoned to appear at the provincial court on November 22 for questioning.

The officer, 35-year-old Sok Sopheak from Phsar Doeum Kor commune in Phnom Penh’s Tuol Kork district, has been summoned before but failed to show up in court.

The incident occurred on March 10 last year in Svay Chrum district’s Tasuos commune. According to one of the victims’ brothers, Neang Rin, the officer drove his truck into his brother’s house, killing him and his wife and their two sons aged two months to two years old.

Rin said: “I have never heard from the perpetrator whether to pay compensation or not, he keeps escaping.
“Since the day of the incident, the court has summoned me to appear in court three times, and the perpetrator has never shown up.”

Sopheak was charged with reckless driving and causing injuries and death under articles 83 and 85 of the Road Traffic Law.
