Phnom Penh authorities on Wednesday arrested a man and a woman for running an illicit kidney trafficking syndicate. Deputy anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection bureau chief Than Phanith said officials were made aware of the pair’s operation after a woman called a local radio station and spoke of the syndicate during a live broadcast.
 

Eu Lat, 38, was arrested in Por Senchey district’s Choam Chao commune while Lach Hong Meng, 34, was arrested in Chamkarmon district’s Tonle Bassac commune. “The victim told us that it involved three people but she didn’t know their names, only their faces and where they lived. So she took us to where the woman was living and that’s when we arrested Ms Lat,” Mr Phanith said referring to the radio caller, 27-year-old Nhuon Sok Heng.  
 

Ms Sok Heng also brought police to the home of Mr Hong Meng, but a third person involved in the operation remains at large. During her call to ABC radio, she said the pair were responsible for finding people willing to donate a kidney for money. She considered doing it herself, but changed her mind and decided to expose them when she learnt she would be flown to India for the operation.
