2 star general and GST owner arrested in Thailand
Saturday, 13 September, 2014, 1:59 pm
-2 Star General Kim Marintha was arrested in Thailand Saturday morning, the 13th of September, 2014, and returned to Cambodia via the Poipet border crossing in connection with the murder of his mistress and her 6 year old daughter in February, 2014, and disposing of their bodies in a forest in the area of Chroy Pich Nil.
-The 2 star general is the owner of GST Express Bus (http://yp.com.kh/listings/kh6612-gst-express-bus), (which continues to operate [CEN]).
-The bodies were discovered on the 21st of March, 2014, along Highway 4, in Village 6, Treng Trayeng Commune, Phnom Srouich District, Kampong Speu Province.
- Apart from a generalized pity for the victim and anger towards the perpetrator, the murders at first sparked little interest among the public, but when an arrest was made and it was learned that a 2 star general who was the owner of a bus company along with his son, who had both fled, were involved, then the story became a news sensation.
- On 12th August, 2014, the general’s 34 year old son-in-law, Chea Somnang, was arrested, and taken to the GST company office. The building was checked but no significance evidence was found apart from it being established as the place where the victims were murdered by both the General and his son. From there the General ordered his son-in-law and a bodyguard to take the bodies, wrapped in plastic and stuffed in an ice box, by a Lexus 470 to a forest in Chroy Pichnil, in Phnom Srouich District, Kampong Speu Province. This happened in March, 2014.
-Regarding this murder, the deputy prosecutor of the Municipal Court of Phnom Penh, Keo Socheat, affirmed that the 2 star general and owner of the GST bus company, along with his son, both murdered the woman and her daughter, and that the woman’s daughter was also the general’s own daughter by birth.
-The deputy prosecutor did not give a reason for the murders, which are still under investigation.
-The deputy prosecutor of the Municipal Court of Phnom Penh in charge of this savage case stated that “I only know that between the perpetrator and this woman there was a daughter who died with the wife or mistress, I don’t know which, but this daughter was their offspring.” ព្រះរាជអាជ្ញារងអមសាលាដំបូងរាជធានី ភ្នំពេញ ដែលកាន់សំណុំរឿងដ៏សាហាវព្រៃ ផ្សៃមួយនេះ បានបញ្ជាក់ថា “ខ្ញុំគ្រាន់តែដឹង ថា រវាងគាត់ (ជនដៃដល់) និងស្ដ្រីហ្នឹង មាន កូនស្រីម្នាក់ ដែលស្លាប់ជាមួយគ្នា ប្រពន្ធ ឬប្រពន្ធចុង ខ្ញុំមិនដឹងទេ ប៉ុន្ដែកូនស្រីហ្នឹង ជា កូនបង្កើតរបស់គាត់ជា មួយស្ដ្រីដែលស្លាប់ នោះ” ។
-He stated that the suspect who was the general’s son-in-law was not directly involved in the murders, but had participated in disposing of the corpse.
-Both the mother and daughter disappeared on the 15th of February, 2014, after leaving their house (House 20, Street 267, Tuk Le-uk Commune, Tuol Kork District) to go shopping at the Soriya Mall.
- (CEN) Although court and police official have not made any disclosures as to what drove the general to murder his wife/mistress, some sources have indicated that it was because she had taken up with a younger lover and wanted out of the relationship.

i could be wrong but the only socially accepted reason for an upper class khmer to kill his wife and daughter is because he discovered he was not the father of the baby and she was a lying bitch.

A military general and adviser to Deputy Prime Minister Ke Kim Yan has fled the country and is wanted on suspicion of the double murder of his mistress and their daughter, police said yesterday.
Major General Kim Marintha, 57, is suspected of carrying out the premeditated murder of his mistress, Va Dary, 27, and their 6-year-old daughter, Kem Thavichda, on February 15.
Police raid home of general accused of murder
A joint task force, which has been investigating the case since mid-March, yesterday raided one of several businesses owned by Marintha, GST Express Bus Company, where investigators believe the murders took place. About 30 police cordoned off the GST premises at 2pm and conducted a lengthy forensic examination of the scene, where weapons believed to have been used in the homicide were later discovered.

Several staff members of the company were held during the raid for questioning.
Police have identified three suspects – Marintha, his son Kim Seng Rithy, and his son-in-law Chea Samnang, 34, who was arrested on Saturday in Preah Sihanouk province. Samnang had fled the capital after getting wind of the investigation and was tracked to Mondulkiri province by police before his arrest near Sihanoukville.
Prosecutor-general Ouk Savuth arrived at the scene about 3:30pm, after which Samnang was ushered into the building for questioning following an earlier appearance at Phnom Penh Municipal Court.
Brigadier General In Bora, chief of the Ministry of Interior’s Penal Police Department, said Marintha had fled and police were seeking his arrest.
“Our penal police forces now are working hard on this case. He has escaped, and our police are searching for him,” he said.
On March 20, the badly decomposed bodies of Dary and Thavichda were found dumped in scrub land near Pech Nil in Kampong Speu province’s Phnom Sroch district.
“As a result of the four-month investigation, three suspects have been identified and one has been arrested in connection with the double murder and disposal of the bodies,” the Child Protection Unit (CPU), which helped coordinate the case, said in a statement yesterday.
Captain Bun Thol, a penal police officer at the Ministry of Interior, said Samnang had confessed to helping his father-in-law dispose of the bodies, “which were wrapped in plastic, put inside a big icebox and taken in the tycoon’s Lexus to Pech Nil on March 18”.
Samnang was officially charged yesterday by the municipal court prosecutor with being an “accomplice to an intentional murder”. After visiting the crime scene with police yesterday, Samnang was remanded into the court’s custody for further questioning.

Va Srey Thun, 27, Dary’s sister, spoke yesterday of her shock at seeing the bodies of her sister and niece.
“On February 14, my older sister and her daughter travelled with Oknha Kim Marintha to visit her hometown in Kampong Cham province. She returned back to Phnom Penh the next day,” she said.
“That afternoon, [Marintha] called my mother and told her that my older sister and her daughter had gone to buy glasses in Sorya Mall and had disappeared. Her mobile phone was switched off.
“I was very shocked and almost lost consciousness when I saw their bodies packaged in plastic. I think that it was very, very cruel. I would like to ask police pursuing the killers to give them the strongest punishment under the law,” she said.
On top of his high-level political connections to former Royal Cambodian Armed Forces chief Kim Yan, Marintha boasts substantial business interests in the Kingdom. As well as GST, he is also director of the Rubber of Friendship VC Company, the Arra Best Corporation, and Fataco Corporation.
In 2009, Vietnamese-owned Fataco came under fire for its role in alleged forced drug trials sponsored by the Vietnamese government in Phnom Penh’s Orkas Khnom drug detention centre, where it experimented on drug addicts by giving them doses of its product Bong Sen – a herbal concoction which the firm claims can “cure” addiction.
The trials were later praised by Deputy Prime Minister Kim Yan.
James McCabe, the CPU’s director of operations, said that Marintha had fled the country and local police were working with international policing agencies to bring him to justice.
“The Joint Task Force is utilising the assistance of international policing agencies. Warrants have been issued for the two outstanding suspects,” he said.

“We have evidence that suggests [the murder] was premeditated, because he purchased the black bags and [icebox] in advance.”
Police officers at the scene of yesterday’s raid said Marintha had fled to Thailand. Calls to phones registered to Marintha went unanswered yesterday evening.
“It’s one of the most serious crimes you can commit, the murder of a child,” McCabe said. “But Cambodia is moving forward, and we are committed to bringing all the persons who committed the crime to justice.”
With two of the main suspects in the case on the run, Srey Thun worries that she may be a marked woman.
“I knew the bodies were my older sister and her daughter, because I recognised her clothes and ID card,” she said.
“I am now very concerned about my own safety and security. I am afraid the offenders will hire hit men to kill me.”

A senior military official wanted over the alleged double murder of his mistress and their daughter was charged by the Phnom Penh Municipal Court yesterday after being arrested in Thailand on Saturday, according to Cambodia’s National Police.
Major General Kim Marintha, 57, fled the country to Thailand in February after being tipped off that a joint task force was searching for him in connection with the grisly killings, which investigators believe occurred at the headquarters of a bus company owned by Marintha.
He is suspected of dumping the bodies of his mistress, Va Dary, 27, and their 6-year-old daughter, Kem Thavichda, by the side of the road near Pech Nil in Kampong Speu province’s Phnom Sroch district on February 15. The bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition on March 20.
“The arrest was made on Saturday morning under the cooperation between Cambodian police and Thai police since they had joined the investigation,” a statement posted to the National Police’s website yesterday said. “The arrest was made at the border between Thailand and Laos while he was waiting to be processed to cross the border into Laos.”
Phnom Penh Municipal deputy prosecutor Keo Socheat said the court had yesterday charged Marintha with “voluntary murder”.
“The suspect was already charged with voluntary murder and will face life in prison if he is found guilty,” he said.
Police said the suspect had been flagged by Thailand’s immigration system as “wanted” following his addition to the International Criminal Police Organisation’s (Interpol) wanted list earlier this month.
Police identified three suspects – Marintha, his son Kim Seng Rithy and his son-in-law Chea Samnang, 34, who was arrested on August 9 in Preah Sihanouk province.
Samnang had fled the capital after getting wind of the investigation and was tracked to Mondulkiri province by police before his arrest near Sihanoukville.
Seng Rithy is listed by Interpol as being charged with hiding the bodies and using illegal weapons. The whereabouts of Marintha’s son is still unknown, and police are continuing attempts to track him down.

Brigadier General In Bora, chief of the Ministry of Interior’s Penal Police Department, confirmed the arrest had taken place but declined to give further details as the case was ongoing.
James McCabe, operations manager at Phnom Penh-based Child Protection Unit, said Marintha had been hiding out in the Thai resort town Pattaya with another mistress. He was arrested after trying to renew his visa at the Laos border. He was then taken to Bangkok, where Interior Ministry officials came to escort him home under armed guards.
“It’s a credit to the Cambodian government and the joint task force that, regardless of who he is, the authorities have made the arrest. And it shows that you cannot get away with murder,” McCabe said.
As well as boasting high-level political connections to former Royal Cambodian Armed Forces chief and current Deputy Prime Minister Ke Kim Yan, Marintha held substantial business interests in the Kingdom.
An owner of the GST Express Bus Company, he is also director of the Rubber of Friendship VC Company, the Arra Best Corporation and Fataco Corporation.
On September 4, police raided the home of Marintha’s ex-wife, Eang Kanet, who claimed the couple had divorced and she had not seen the major general in “a long time”.
Despite her denials, a police officer at the scene said Marintha was thought to have been “a regular guest” at the property.

Has anyone else noticed PPP and DAP both refer to her as the mistress, but Cambodia Daily refers to her as the wife? Can a man legally take two wives in Cambodia?Mey Lyly, Va Dary’s mother, said Monday that she didn’t approve of her daughter’s relationship with Maj. Gen. Marintha, who married her daughter but never had an official wedding ceremony, but eventually relented.
“I knew that he had many girlfriends,” said Ms. Lyly, 50, sitting in the Tuol Kok district home given to her daughter years ago. “But she fell in love, and I wanted her to be happy.”
An update on this case. The offender former General Kim Marintha was today sentenced to life imprisonment for these two murders and ordered to pay $200,000 compensation to the victim's family. Fellow accused Kim Senrithy was jailed for 30 months and Chea Soksamnang was sentenced to 18 months.
That's a good result, and with the Sok Bun thing happening is there a growing sense that the age of the great and good getting away with anything is gradually coming to an end?

the 200k figure is also better than the previous ridiculous 10-15k routinely offered in such cases
