Thai authorities Wednesday extradited four Cambodian drug offenders through Sa Kaew's Aranyaprathet border checkpoint to serve the rest of their jail terms in Cambodia - following a request from both Cambodia and the inmates.
Attending the handover at the Cambodian consulate in Aranyaprathet, Sa Kaew prison director Kittipat Dechapahul said it was the country’s first inmate extradition through a local border checkpoint.
Two of the inmates,both female, had served 14 years in Sa Kewa Prison out of their 37-year jail term. The other two male prisoners were each given a 35-year jail term, leaving them 12 years to serve in Cambodia.
