Phnom Penh – Tith Sothea, a member of the joint investigation committee and vice-president of the government’s Press and Quick Reaction Unit (PQRU), held a press conference at 9AM on 05 May 2012 to show the results of the investigation into the murder of Chut Wutty, President of Natural Resource Protection group, and the death of In Ratana, a military police officer from Koh Kong province.

During the press conference, Tith Sothea said that the two reporters of The Cambodia Daily and Chut Wutty traveled from Pursat province to Koh Kong province. They went in to take pictures at a stockpile warehouse – an information warehouse owned by the [no-name] company. Security guards there request Chut Wutty to erase the photos, but the latter refured. Then the security guards confiscated the cameras. At that time, In Ratana already arrived, then Chut Wutty cursed In Ratana. In Ratana, who was armed with an AK-47 rifle, then shot on Chut Wutty’s car parked nearby, [and the bullets] hit Chut Wutty who died. Immediately thereafter, Ran Borath, a security guard, went to wrestle the gun from In Ratana. A fight ensued, the gun misfired and In Ratana was killed after two bullets hit him.

Tith Sothea then concluded by saying: “Therefore, the comedycommittee confirmed that In Ratana died from the gun wrestling with Ran Borath who tried to prevent him from continuing to shoot.”
