In the latest in a string of trafficking busts involving Cambodian women bound for arranged marriages in China, a woman was charged on Saturday by Kandal provincial court after being caught allegedly taking four women to the airport for that purpose.
Colonel Ros Sarin, chief of the provincial Anti-Human Trafficking and Juvenile Protection Unit, said that Ly Bona, 33, had been charged under the Kingdom's suppression of human trafficking law with the act of selling, buying or exchanging a person for cross-border transfer.
He told the Post yesterday that another female suspect, aged 49, escaped during the bust.
The four women have been sent back to their homes.
Neither Ly Bona nor her defence lawyer could be reached for comment yesterday.
