Chinese and Cambodian to be sent to court over deadly building collapse

[geovalin]

Preah Sihanouk provincial police will send four people arrested in connection with the construction of the collapsed building to the provincial court today as rescue work goes on. Provincial police chief Major General Chuon Narin said today that police will send Chen Kun, a Chinese national who leased the land for construction, Deng Xing Gui, a building contractor, Gao Yu, a concrete wall contractor, and Nhek Huy, a Cambodian who owned the land to the provincial court today.

“We will send the four people to the provincial court today after completion of questioning,” Maj Gen Narin said and declined further comments. All four people were arrested on Saturday after the seven-story building under construction in Sihanoukville collapsed early Saturday morning.

Rescue work is still going on around the clock to look for more victims as it is believed that up to 60 people may have been in the building, living there while the upper floors were being constructed.

My guess is 3 of the four are responsible, but the 4th, the Cambodian proxy landowner is the person who will be held responsible.
