The trial of former Phnom Penh police chief Heng Pov, which was expected to be held Thursday, was postponed due to a scheduling conflict, with the Phnom Penh Municipal Court busy preparing for the reappointments of judges and prosecutors. It was the second time in two weeks a hearing on charges of illegal detention and interrogation against the former top cop has been delayed. Heng Pov, who while in power was much feared in his role, is currently serving a total of 58 years in prison on charges including murder and kidnapping.
