The police officer who shot and killed a 27-year-old woman on Sunday evening, during a raid against the illegal trade of M’reah Prov tree oil is still at large. Pen Sarath, the deputy prosecutor of the Pursat provincial court said yesterday that he has not charged the man since he did not receive yet a written police report. “The police commissioner only gave me a verbal report by phone, so I cannot bring charge,” he explained.
According to the Pursat police commissioner, the police officer who belongs to a unit for the protection of the Cardamom mountain chain, was patrolling with three other officers when they decided to follow 2 cars with 3 passengers transporting 1,400 kilos of M’reah Prov tree oil, a tree extract used in cosmetic and in making ecstasy pills. The officers lost track of the cars at one point as the cars they chased drove into the forest, and finally they found the car again and made the arrest. “One of the car drivers took off, but the officers arrested the other driver. One of the officers opened fire in the direction of the driver’s wife, hit her and she died on the spot,” the commissioner reported based on eyewitnesses report. To the observers of human rights groups, this action constitutes “a severe violation of the citizen’s rights.” “We want to know under which circumstances, the police officer made use of his weapons. Even though he is a police officer, he is now a criminal, and he must be arrested,” said Chan Saveth, an investigator of the Adhoc NGO.
