Former Duke Duong Ngiep Trial Adjourned Due to Absence of Accused

Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: The Trial Chamber of the Phnom Penh Municipal Court this morning, August 30, 2022, decided to postpone the trial of the former three-star officer and oknha, Duong Ngiep, in the absence of the accused and the defense lawyer for the accused.
Mr. Sok Tith, Deputy Director of PJ Prison, reported to the court that the accused and his lawyer had applied for an adjournment, and therefore refused to appear in court at the present date.


Mr. Seng Heang, Deputy Prosecutor and Representative of the Prosecution in this case, stated during the hearing that the court had issued an order to the prison to bring the accused to appear in accordance with the procedure, but the custodians did not follow the order.
