A 63-year-old man was put in pre-trial detention on Saturday for raping his two grandchildren in Pursat province’s Phnom Krovanh district.

District police chief Tain Kearith said Keo Nun, 63, raped his two unidentified grandchildren, aged 13 and 10, on separate occasions in Samrong commune while their mother was out farming.

He confessed that he raped the 13-year-old grandchild behind their house last year and the 10-year-old inside the home in July this year,” Kearith said.
