| It only happens in the Banana Kingdom: After shooting activist Chut Wutty, In Ratana, filled with guilt, shot himself in his stomach, but to ensure that he would die, he woke up from his death and shot himself one more time in his chest. To believe Kheng Tito, all the shootings were done with an AK-47 rifle. Kheng Tito must be another monkey in the Banana Kindgom! |

A CAMBODIAN military police officer shot himself twice in the chest after gunning down a prominent activist, officials say, in a surprise explanation for the two deaths in a remote forest.
Chhut Vuthy, the president of the Natural Resource Conservation Group, was documenting illegal logging with two women journalists on Thursday when a confrontation broke out with military police who tried to confiscate his camera's memory card.
''The military police officer fatally shot Chhut Vuthy and when he realised he had made a mistake and could not flee from the law, he decided to kill himself,'' said a spokesman for the military police.
He added that the officer, who was armed with an assault rifle, ''shot himself twice, once in the stomach, once near his nipple''.
Mr Vuthy, an outspoken and long-time land activist who had military police training, had a handgun on him, according to the spokesman.
The explanation of the deaths, in south-western Koh Kong province was greeted with incredulity by activists contacted by Agence France-Presse, who did not wish to be named.
The Cambodian human rights group, Licadho, said the information its team had collected on the ground ''contradicts statements made by officials'' and called for a ''thorough and impartial investigation''.
The two reporters from the English-language Cambodia Daily who witnessed what happened have not made any public statements.
Human rights groups reacted with dismay to Mr Vuthy's death.
He ''was one of the few … Cambodian activists willing to speak out against the rapid escalation of illegal logging and land grabbing,'' the director of Global Witness, Patrick Alley, said.
''The extent of the risks he and other activists face has been laid bare in the most shocking and tragic manner,'' he said.

How come he (the shooter) did not bury or cremate himself AFTER HE KILLED HIMSELF?

Send us a favorite picture of you and tell us which side you it on, left or right.
We will post it for you as soon as possible since you are in a hurry.

If the reporters have an Iphone, they should be able to instantly send images or live video to their head office . They don't have to worry about a possible confiscation. Reporters should use an Iphone as an alternative to their cameras or camcorders.
As a rotating duty, this year Cambodia gets the ASEAN chairmanship.
Hun Sen, while you are the chairman shows your peers how easy it is to kill your opponents, because that is the only thing you know better than them.
And show them how long you last as a PM.

How many days does it take you to come up with this bright idea from the comfort of your living room?
However, you are the best candidate for instantly sending images or live video to the head office through Iphone while you were under fire from the drunken soldiers.
You get my good recommendation for the job.

I like your response. It makes the posters think twice about their unintelligent comments.
This dead man (In Tatana) was paid to kill the activist (Chut Wuthy). There was no reason for him to kill himself or feeling guilty anything. Someone else (I heard deputy Governor KG Thom) who sent a threat to the activist may had paid a group of hitmen to kill the activist, and this small police criminal (In Ratana) took the job. He may not yet got paid, but his life was also taken away by the men who hired. That's how the criminals or the mafia erased the evidence.
Ps: I heard the deputy governor of Kg Thom is a mad-crook from California. His name called Ra or Saless. That guy stole and steals and keep stealing from Cambodia.
He is an opportunist, cares no body but himself and his family.
Hahuh hahahah...:)))) I read this idiot wrote his comment:

Hahhah...hahahah..:))) haha...
I can no longer cry for the lost of Champa, if this idiot brainless was Cham in his past life. ...Hahaha... Do we have more with this kind of dumbest in our community?
4:32 PM and 5:35 PM : You both are dumb.
It is you both to think twice not 3:04 PM. You don't even understand what 3:04 PM said.
He/she meant about the logging photo not the shooting scene!!!

They are professionals. They know their jobs better than you and me.
There are possibly many factors preventing them from doing so.
1 – Their employer CD probably cannot afford to give them the Iphone.
(Remember CD is not Time magazine)
2 – The bandwidth is not large enough to upload the photos or videos from a remote area.
3 – Maybe the reporters are just plain dumb like you think.
Have you ever wondered why CD only sent female reporters to the remote and dangerous area?
2.56AM can i now assume you are dumbfounded by 7:51AM's explanations?
