Buot Chinda said last week that she had been visited by Bavet town police officials offering her US$500 on behalf of deputy prime minister Men Sam An, who also handed her a document to thumbprint, agreeing not to file a criminal complaint.
Government and police officials were at a loss yesterday to pinpoint the whereabouts of the Bavet town governor, who has been identified as a suspect in the shooting of three women at a protest two weeks ago.
An arrest warrant had still not been issued for Chhouk Bandith yesterday, who was identified as a suspect in the shootings outside the Kaoway Sports Ltd factory in Svay Rieng province by Interior Minister Sar Kheng on Thursday, officials said.
Svay Rieng chief prosecutor Hing Bun Chea said yesterday he had received the results of a police investigation but still had not finished checking it.
“Chhouk Bandith has not been arrested yet because his case is still in the prosecutor’s hands and is still being checked.”
Director of the penal police department at the Ministry of Interior, Im Bora, denied reports that Chhouk Bandith had been held for questioning. “We only sent a report to the Svay Rieng [provincial] court,” he said.
The shootings in Bavet town’s Manhattan Special Economic Zone put three people in hospital including 21-year-old Buot Chinda, who was shot through the chest and is recovering in Phnom Penh.
Buot Chinda said last week that she had been visited by Bavet town police officials offering her US$500 on behalf of deputy prime minister Men Sam An, who also handed her a document to thumbprint, agreeing not to file a criminal complaint.
Chhouk Bandith also reportedly visited her in hospital last week, urging her not to file a criminal complaint.
Bavet town police chief Keo Kong, Svay Rieng deputy governor Men Vibol and Svay Rieng deputy police chief Hem Sa Ban, all said they had no news about Chhouk Bandith’s whereabouts.
Last week, Chhouk Bandith told the Post he had “a meeting with Vietnam” before declining to comment further.
Mathieu Pellerin, a monitoring consultant with the rights group Licadho, said yesterday that his organisation had a strong belief on Friday that Chhouk Bandith had already been arrested.
“Obviously, that belief has been denied by authorities, so the situation in very murky,” he said.

The great investigative powers, unbiased carriage of justice, fearless application of the rule of law, of the Cambodia police. The Bavet Bandit could have painted a target on his own back, and these fearless policemen and women would not be able to find him. Too much time spent saving their own arses and looking at their bank accounts.
Hun Sen, there is a certain limit you can to protect your cronies.
The time has come for you to realize that you cannot use a basket to hide a dead elephant anymore.
Mhe Man Sam An is a corrupted Cambodia politician woman, who is shameless bitch, she sold her stupid head to vietcong. You to hell you bitch.
Mhe Men Sam An is an old bitch who used to be a whore for the Yuon soldiers in the 70s.
Is the CPP Man Sam An trying to hide a criminal? Is Cambodia ruled by law and order?
The CPP gov't's decision making is to hide the criminal and risking losing our most important garment industry, shame one our court system for law and order and our nation's image. Is this criminal the CPP trying to protect that important? Why are they so so stupid to so much weigh on this guy?
Buot Chinda should not accept the money because it is not worth it with $500 for your life.
It is silly when you accept a little money. It could be millions of dollars.
$500 made you worse than animal as the Yuon bitch Men Xam On did to you.
Don't be so dumb because you were deceived.
If you did, that meant you loved money and you did not care about other victims like yourself. That is stupid.
Damn, how stupid it is, Khmer!
