Cambodian police chief dies in helicopter crash: govt
Sunday, November 09, 2008
PHNOM PENH (AFP) — Cambodia's top policeman died in a helicopter crash in bad weather that also claimed the life of a top-ranking army general, a government spokesman told AFP Sunday.
Chief of police Hok Lundy and General Sok Sa Em were passengers in a helicopter that came down shortly after it took off Sunday from Phnom Penh airport, ministry of interior spokesman Khieu Sopheak said.
"In the helicopter there was a pilot, a co-pilot, the national police chief and the deputy commander of the military. All four died," Khieu Sopheak said.
Khieu Sopheak said the helicopter came down in southeastern Svay Rieng province.
"The reason for the crash was bad weather. There was a heavy rain," he added.
He said radio contact had been lost 15 minutes after it took off from Phnom Penh airport at around 7:20 pm (1220 GMT).
Hok Lundy, head of the country's police for over a decade, had been routinely criticised by international organisations for alleged human rights abuses and corruption within his force.
Hok Lundy was also accused of involvement in politically motivated killings and drug trafficking.
Human rights groups protested a decision to allow him a visa to the United States last year after the State Department refused him a visa in 2006 due to allegations he was involved in trafficking prostitutes.
Arrangements were being made for a traditional Cambodian funeral for the police chief, Khieu Sopheak said.

Will you die with so much hated and contempt upon your death?
Many corrupt and notoriously wicked Khmers lok thum will die in such scenario.
And the family of the wicked will eventually suffer. No one should have pitty on them.
The spirits of the greatly suffered victims who died by by the hand of these wicked individuals will quickly roam the new comer in rage. They shall have their sweet revenge.
It is a certainty that your time is limitted. Your sin will drag you to where you belong; the fiery hell. Anad all of your loved ones should be punished as well due to your notorious ruthless nature.
Hell is awaiting you, the wicked.
Hurry!!!!!!
THE BIG MURDERER IN CAMBODIA DEAD HOPE SOON......, THE OTHER CAMBODIAN MURDERERS WILL FOLLOW HIS PATH.

Ah YUON HOK DIE, Ah YOUN HUN WILL BE NEXT TO JOINT Ah YOUN HOK IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!Let celebrate all my cambodian fellows!!
This guy has done extremely bad deed and Buddha has decided to punish him in a nasty way. We must be careful in jumping to judgement. Maybe it contributed to different factors. How many people in CPP dissatisfied with Hok? Even Hun Sen himself was not impressed. Maybe HS was the one who engineered this!!!! The end of an era will be coming soon. This is not CPP internal faction, it is HS internal faction cracking and fighting each other like mad dog. They have so much money, power and they abused so much and killed so many people and raped many women, cheated many businesses and many other BAD things he did to human kind. Buddha really has EYES to let him go in peace rather let him suffer alive. We wait to hear from more reports if the weather was the real reason behind. Call your friends and relatives to find out. Am not surprised that it is not the weather. If u know history of Lin Bao - one of the Chinese communist leaders, who was allegely died of plane crash and was accused of trying to escape to USSR at the time in 1971, u understand what I meant here.
Chheeerrrrrssssss

Don't keep your hope up too high just yet. This is maybe just the Viet/Yuon's trick to have HOC lay low or dissappear for awhile or maybe operating behind the scene. The Viet's slave Hun Sen cannot survive without the killing machine of HOC.
