It was learnt that the cause of the shooting between the scions of the powerful on Sunday evening, was due to a woman dispute. The woman in question is the daughter of Kov Samuth (Bun Rany’s brother-in-law), the niece of Mrs. Bun Rany Hun Sen.
27-year-old Reth Nika, the deputy military police commander of Phnom Penh city and the nephew of Seng Tieng, the aid of prime minister Hun Sen, was shot by a group of 7 armed men belonging to 27-year-old Roth Chansonody, a police officer of the Minister of Interior and son-in-law of Kov Samuth, who died on the day of the incident after he was seriously injured by bullets and he could not be taken to Calmette Hospital on time.
A source indicated that Reth Nika was in love with the daughter of Kov Samuth for a long time, however, Roth Chansonody asked her hand for marriage first. The source indicated that even after her wedding, Kov Samuth’s daughter still keep contact with Reth Nika, this then caused Roth Chansonody to become jealous.
Phnom Penh military police officers said Lieutenant Colonel Reth Nika was the nephew of Seng Tieng, the special advisor of Hun Sen. He was shot 5 times by the gang belonging to Colonel Roth Chansonody, and he died on the spot. In turn, Roth Chansonody, Kov Samuth’s son-in-law and Bun Rany Hun Sen’s nephew-in-law, was shot by Reth Nika’s gang and he also died.
The event took place on Sunday evening along Street No. 178, north of Wat Phnom. Near the Saravoan Decho pagoda, Chey Chomneah commune, Daun Penh district, Phnom Penh city, and it was filled with Hollywood-move-style car chase and street shooting. Eyewitnesses of the event trembled with fear.
An eyewitness said that about 10 bullets were exchanged between both sides against each other at 6:00 PM on 09 September 2007, when Reth Nika was trying to flee out his black Mercedes car during a traffic jam at the incident location. An eyewitness said that 2 armed men among a group of 7 people, got out of a Mitsubishi Pajero SUV which rear-ended Reth Nika’s Mercedes. The two men then chased after the fleeing Reth Nika and shot him 5 times inside the pagoda, hitting him in the head, his right hand, and both of his legs.
Roth Chansonody told a doctor before he died that the shooting stems from a dispute about women and not from car accident.
People living along Street No. 178 who witnessed the shooting said that, at the incident location, the traffic was jammed. An eyewitness said that about 10 people in a Mitsubishi Pajero SUV rear-ended the Mercedes car three times. An anonymous source said that armed men got out of the Pajero SUV and shot the windows of the Mercedes car three times, then the 3 passengers of the Mercedes got out of the car and fled into the nearby pagoda. The passengers in the Pajero SUV chased them and shot 5 more bullets. After the shooting, 2 men ran back to the Pajero SUV which took off on Norodom Boulevard. However, Roth Chansonody, Bun Rany Hun Sen’s nephew-in-law was seriously injured and was transported to the hospital where he died.
Even though the shooting in the middle of the capital took the lives of people from both gangs, the authority does not dare investigate this case because of the parents of the two dead men are powerful officials. What’s interesting in this case is the fact that both dead men were 27, there were both police officers, they both depend on Hun Sen’s power for their backing, they both died, and they both love the same woman.

two retards that like the same woman. It's good that they killed each other, because Cambodia needs stale leadership and police officers, not thugs and hooligans who use their power to enforce blind justice. If these guys kill one another over a woman, imagine how they feel about innocent bystanders and victims...they don't.
does this mean the woman is now single? I would love to meet her and who know thing might click between me and her. I wouldn't mind marrying her. I take her. LOL. Left over is still good. I like left over.
This is a society that do not think of public security. Under HUN SEN government, how many of those evil officials will terrorize the country? HUN SEN government must put serious punishment to this act.
to anonymous 5:05
You're so cheap ! so disgrace !
Married with that woman ?You'll die
in the street like both guys.
Khmer says :" Slap odd Ampil Pralack "
Don't you those CPP & Hun Sen are imbeciles ?
killing each other for a little bitch
How can you depend on the police (military, municipal, etc)in Cambodia for protection when those who wear the badge and are in high positions are retarded thugs & hooligans themselves? Law enforcers causing lawlessness...an example of Hun Sen's "peace" in Phnom Penh. Give me a break!
What a waste of lives….so young and too foolish. I hope they would consider and find friendship in their after life world. May buhdda bless their soles and have mercy on them. I'm sure now they both are looking back at the incident with regret and see a widow in mourning.
I'm just thinking that if there are good leaders out there who dare to take initiatives to rid these kinds of abuses of the high ranking officials' children. The parents should be responsible for their children actions……bcause they brought them up.
This tragic event has clearly indicaded that Cambodia is still ruled by the anarchic forces who have controlled the security forces in the country. If all those guys killed each other like the bandits, how can they provide the security protection to the publics?
I have so much doubt on this animal Phnom Penh vice-Chairman police department.
1-How can he is only 27 years and has that kind rank?
2-When has he been recruited?
3-What promotion was he?
4-Who has put public notice for this recruitment?
5-It is a corruption to recruit police in secrecy?
6-How can they recruit an animal to protect public security?
No one wants to die and no one wants to be widow except crazy people. So, the culture of peace and understanding in the mind of individual people in Cambodia are so limited. Fighting and Killing are evil tool.
We should listen to buddha teaching when we are alive rather than when we are dead.
sorry to say. its not worth fighting over a vietnamese girl.
Nieces of bun runny hun sen ?
come on.
May they are rest in peace
its good that they both got killed by bullets!!! RIP!!
who's Next?? who want to die?
Both were killed by each other bullets not for a woman dispute , but for the drugs trafficking in theirs controlled zone.
What a cheap life they were?
Wow, I see more comments in this article than the starting of stock market in Srok Khmer. Can this mean that we still like drama?
WILD WILD GRAZY PHNOM PENH:
WHO ELSE OUTTHERE (I MEANT SONS OF ELITES)WANT TO SCORE THEIR DISPUTES?
PLACES TO COSIDER:
INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT OR IN FRONT OF KING PALACE, NATIONAL ASSSEMMBLY, PRIME MINISTER OFFICE, AND COUNCIL OF MINSITER, THE LIST GOES ON....NAME YOUR OWN DESTINATION OF JIHAD TO SACRIFY YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR LOVE OF PUSSYCAT.
6:31PM can you see now that we Cambodian live in fear?
7:15AM They were not Children they were adults and the CoLOnel of General Hun XEN make from Vietname!
8:17AM you are asking for too much!
8:24AM You should start teaching Tep Vong to read Khmer!
9:02AM They should rest in hell wail to be joint by Ah Hun Xen and co.
7"27PM is not a fucking Drama, it how we Cambodia is suffering right now by those fucking tugs. HOw money Cambodian were kille by those tugs ( HUN SEN nephews , friend, and bodygard ) Drama to you but part of our live and freedome fool!
8"18PM I agree with you!
Whatever the moral of this incident is, I still support 5:05AM's sentiment! These powerful parents, such as Hun Sen and Sok An, just forced their children into marrying each other for the sharing of wealth and power. These youngsters got married at the early age, but they may already have some idea of what truly love is at that time.
Poor guy like me can't compete with those prats with wealth and power. But, if this young widow sees me and 5:05AM and she clicks with both of us, let's settle it in a civilised manner: pav sin soum! Has anyone got her photo to share?
Why Khmer people try to shout out with so bad words to one another with no any morality? Why don't they come up with solution or suggestion? If you believe in Buddha you should know about it, your action.
We all are Khmer and I don't if foreigners are here to give their comments. And I know you probably have sorrow or sadness in any part of your life or bad experience in Cambodia or you just heard about some stories but you never know what the fact is????
Please calm down!! Time will tell. Please believe in FACT.
Khmersrok
