A 90-year-old Taiwanese man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay a $4,900 fine after he was convicted of trying to smuggle 4.2 pounds of heroin.

Huang Fang-hou is the oldest foreigner convicted of drug trafficking in Cambodia. He was arrested last May after they found heroin strapped to his body under his clothes at Phnom Penh's International Airport.

Fang-hou denied involvement and claimed the heroin belonged to two other Taiwanese men.
