The jailed leader of the antigovernment Tiger Head Movement and mastermind of a failed 2009 plot to bomb the Defence Ministry escaped police custody on Saturday after his family fed drugged food to the guards supervising him while he was in hospital, officials said.

 

Som Ek was in 2010 sentenced to 28 years’ jail for training terrorists and planting two bombs at the state-run TV3 station and one at the Defence Ministry. Two months earlier he had been sentenced to 18 years for a 2007 plot to bomb the Cambodian-Vietnamese Friendship Monument.

 

He escaped from the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital – where he had been hospitalised for about two days after fainting due to a blood problem – at about 10pm on Saturday, after his two guards fell asleep, said Phin Yan, the chief of PJ prison, where Ek was serving his sentence.
