Sok Bun strikes a bargain with ‘Ms Sasa’
The trial of real estate tycoon Sok Bun opened with a bombshell on 26 January as it was revealed that former TV presenter Ek Socheata had dropped her complaint against the man who was seen viciously beating her on security camera footage that went viral in July.
Phnom Penh Municipal Court judge Sor Lina read a previously undisclosed letter from Socheata, better known to her fans as Ms Sasa, to the courtroom expressing the plaintiff’s desire to withdraw her complaint, without explanation. When contacted by the Post, Socheata refused to comment.
