"I was very sorry [to hear of the deaths] and I’m committed to hunt for the perpetrator"
Two police officers have been shot dead after a wanted man they were trying to arrest led them on a car chase through the city before opening fire.
The incident occurred yesterday at about 3:00am on Street 516 in Phnom Penh’s Boeung Kak I commune in Tuol Kok district. The gunman remains at large.
Phnom Penh municipal police chief Touch Naruth said municipal penal crime police officers Kong Vichet, 32, and Roeun Po, 33, were shot dead after trying to apprehend a man on a motorcycle, who was wanted for gang-related activity.
The two police officers were on patrol in Phnom Penh when they spotted the wanted man by the public park near NagaWorld.
When the gunman saw the police he sped off and a five-kilometre chase ensued. At St 516 the police cut the motorcycle off and Kong Vichet stepped out of the car to arrest the man.
The gunman fired two bullets from a handgun killing Kong Vichet instantly.
He then turned on Roeun Po, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, and fired numerous bullets, leaving him dead at the wheel. The gunman then sped off.
Touch Naruth said the bodies of the victims were being kept at Sansom Kosal pagoda in Phnom Penh for a traditional Khmer funeral service.
“I was very sorry [to hear of the deaths] and I’m committed to hunt for the perpetrator,” he said.
The wife of Kong Vichet Sok Leakhena, 31, who has two daughters aged one and three years-old, said when police first broke the news to her she did not believe it.
The mother of Roeun Po Mil Sok, 53, said she and her son were planning a family reunion in Dangkor district’s Pong Teuk commune on Saturday night but now they would gather at Mil Sok’s funeral instead.
Roeun Po had been with the police force for 10 years and Kong Vichet three years.
The total number of police officers shot and killed on duty this year now stands at three.
Last month, one police officer was shot dead by unidentified men while he was investigating a group of youths.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cops were trying to rob the guy and got shot.
Hi Everyone,
One of KI-Media member who has his name in Facebook as Khmer Sovannaphumi but his real name is Pang Sokhoeun, former political asylum and now living in Sweden. He always copies news from here to post in his facebook profile to promote himself, but right now, he tries to removed and blocked anyone who dares to reveal his con activity particular he tries to hide what he has cheated his wife (Sreypov Chea) by having a girlfriend (Sokunthear Sam) behind his wife back. Now, his girlfriend had ran way from him after she knew his cheating.
A con man Pang Sokhoeun as well as KI-Media like to insult to the government officers who have affairs, but himself does even worse than other people. What a shame!
PS: I like it up my ASS

No body can tell the difference between cops and robbers in Cambodia!
2 Evils down????????
let it be a lesson that violence don't resolve violence! in america, you know what they do to cop killer? can't win with the law, ok! think about it! don't be stupid forever, ok!
that said, cops should be professional as well at all time, ok!
But cops in America are not like cops in Cambodia, O.K!
Cops in America serve and protect the public, really!
And Cops in Cambodia and robbers are the same, OK!! except robbers rob people at night and in the quiet place while the cops rob people in broad daylight,OK? and that's what the term of day light robbery coming from, Really!
As you already that Ah Hun Sen is a gangster, and he's a bad boy, you know. All of his family and relatives are robbing other people's property, you know. We don't want these fuckers to do that to Cambodia, ok.
what! shut up, ok!
that fucking gangster deserves to be excecuted in an electric chair,of course if those two policemen related to you what would you guys 's going to do????????????????????.shut the fuck up...ok!,that only happened in the KHMER ROUGE'regime whom they could kill anybody as they wanted!!!!!!.NOW THE KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA,THEY HAVE LAW TO RULE!.Who ever kill the police,it meand you want to destroy the kingdom of CAMBODIA!.yOU are absolutely not above the law.
When one person had posted in KI-Media and accused that a con man Pang Sokhoeun is a brother of Som Ek (former Chief of Tiger's head sign guerilla, who was arrested and put in prison by Cambodian government) during that time, a cheater Pang Sokhoeun came to deny in his blogs immediately and had pointed the blame to Mr. Sourn Serey Rotha, but this time, he has bury his head in the sand because he cannot deny the truth that he has cheated his wife. Right now, all he can do is removed and blocked anyone who dared to reveal his cheating.
