Kandal Court may release men charged with Odong relic theft

The Kandal Provincial Court will question five prisoners next month over the theft of 2,500-year-old relics of the Buddha from the top of Odong mountain in December to ascertain if they were actually involved, a court official said Monday. Lim Sokuntha, an investigating judge at the court, said that there is no new additional evidence to take the men to trial, even though they have been held in pretrial detention since their arrests in December. … All five have insisted they are innocent, and police have yet to provide any inculpatory evidence against them.
