‘Traffickers’ were hiding drugs in ducks, cops say

Five suspects involved in a shootout with police last Wednesday that left an officer and a suspect dead were officially charged yesterday by an investigating judge, according to Ly Sophanna, Phnom Penh Municipal Court spokesman.

Sophanna declined to specify the charges, but was quoted in local media as saying the charges were for trafficking drugs, conspiring with criminals and possessing illegal weapons.
