Va Sopheak, the wife of the slain Suntex union president, said that she is currently worried about her own safety and she is calling for assistance from international human rights organization.
The wife of slain Hy Vuthy, said that she is currently in hiding outside Phnom Penh city. She went into hiding after her husband was killed on 24 February.
Va Sopheak said: “I am calling for [human rights] organizations to help me, they are persecuting us. Right now, I do not dare live at home because they came to look for me. I have returned back to my village for a few days, on Monday, I am asked to return back to Phnom Penh, but I don’t know where to stay there. I am very worried about my safety. I am calling on [human rights] organizations to help me. I am penniless after the killing of my husband, I am the only one left to look after our children, if they kill me also, nobody will take care of my children. My children are still very young, I am just a factory worker.”
Khieu Sopheak, the spokesman of the Ministry of Interior, said yesterday that his ministry did not arrest any suspect yet because the investigation in the case is still in progress.
Khieu Sopheak said: “Because the investigation is still active, maybe that’s why the police and the experts do not allow yet the distribution of information regarding their activities, it can affect the investigation. We have the will, we want to be acknowledged by the public, we don’t want criticisms, therefore we are doing all we can.”
Hy Vuthy was shot by two unknown assassins last Saturday, when he was driving his motorcycle after his work shift in the early morning.
The authority said the 34-year-old victim was shot once in the back, and died on the spot.
The string of killings took place one after another. Singer Pov Panhapich was shot twice the day before the murder of Hy Vuthy. She is now under medical care in Vietnam.
The latest news on Panhapich indicates that she is now conscious but she cannot move yet.
Sophie Richardson, deputy Asia director of Human Rights Watch, urged, from New York, for the [Cambodian] authority to hurry up and arrest the killers and bring them to justice. She also added that if the authority cannot bring the criminals to court, this will encourage those who use violence, and lead them to disrespect the law.

Not only husband has been priceless killed, but his wife is under jeopardize...
Where is Hok Long Dy?
Hunk Lundy is probably too busy not investigating the case because it's more likely involved one of his own or know someone who knows him. If you want to see justice done in cambodia, the oppositions needs to learn how to kill Hun Sen and all his services. Then you would see Hunk Lundy more active and the justice system work accurately. In the meantime, if it just involve the innocent bystander or rights' workers then Hunk Lundy no need to do nothing. the case can go on for a life time if it needs be.
Ah PraHok Long Die is so busy fucking his wife,Mee Bunary, and all his mistresses, also this bastard is very busy counting his fucking $$$ and enjoy himself only, tha's why every time the killings happen he had never, ever,ever arrested those criminals. This motherfucker should live with his friend Heng Pov in Prey Sar, tha's is reasonable.
