PM's nephew Hun Chea immediately convicted after shooting spree
Breaking: PM's nephew Hun Chea convicted in shooting just hours after arrest
Publication date 02 May 2018 | 21:40 ICT
Hun Chea, a nephew of Prime Minister HE and three-star lieutenant general, was sentenced on Wednesday to 18 months in prison in a snap trial the same day he was arrested over a shooting incident near Chea’s house, according to Phnom Penh Municipal Court spokesman Y Rin.
Officials divulged few details about the incident, which took place in Daun Penh district on Tuesday night. Ministry of Interior spokesman Khieu Sopheak said Chea appeared to have “shot into the air”, but said no one was hurt.
Sok Khemarin, a senior official at the Ministry of Interior, said Chea was arrested by ministry policemen Wednesday morning and sent to court by the afternoon.
“At this period of time, whoever does a shooting spree, we arrest,” Khemarin said.
Chea’s arrest, trial, conviction and sentencing all took place over the course of a few hours on Wednesday – lightning speed by the standards of Cambodia’s sluggish courts.
Judge Ros Piseth handed down the sentence, convicting Chea of making death threats and intentionally damaging property.
It is unclear who Chea may have been threatening or what property he damaged. Phnom Penh Municipal Police Chief Chuon Sovann confirmed around 10 rounds were fired in the incident.

Won't he just pay to be out in a day?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I'm guessing it was inside a residence and involved a family member/relative..bodyguards aren't usually admitted inside employers' residences

Re: PM's nephew Hun Chea immediately convicted after shooting spree
this guy had been a trouble maker, im sure there is more to this case, within minutes, the big boss had been called, and the decision was made to cover to up something more sinister so as not to damage the big boss man reputation, since its election time and all, who else had such power to move the "judicial system" with such lightning speed, and we all know how "fast" khmer workthat genius wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 8:39 am I'm guessing it was inside a residence and involved a family member/relative..bodyguards aren't usually admitted inside employers' residences

Re: PM's nephew Hun Chea immediately convicted after shooting spree
Given the above, which rings true, would we expect him to be able to pay for a more comfortable life inside or is he going to have to slum it in a cell with 20 others? How would other prisoners treat him, do you think?

Re: PM's nephew Hun Chea immediately convicted after shooting spree
This was my thought. The optics of nepotistic preference within the judicial system is not worth the hassle especially with a relation so near to the big man.
I'm thinking a quiet release from prison around the end of July/early August.

What, not one picture? I see some of the Facebook posts on this have been scrubbed.
Likely will be released after the election when it won't matter anymore.
