Two journalists from the Cambodia Daily newspaper have been called to appear in the shooting case of activist Chut Wutty last month.
Chut Wutty had been escorting the two journalists, Cambodian Phorn Bopha and Canadian Olesia Plokhii, to investigate illegal logging in a remote part of the province when he was shot in an argument with military police.
In an account published in the English-language daily, the reporters said they had not witnessed the shooting directly. Authorities are holding one man, Rann Boroth, who they say accidentally killed military policeman In Ratana when he tried to stop him from killing Chut Wutty.
Cambodia Daily editor-in-chief Kevin Doyle declined to comment Tuesday. Rights activists have said the governmental investigative committee did not look deeply into the killing.
Chut Wutty had been a prominent environmental activist whose work to stop illegal logging and deforestation earned him powerful enemies in the lucrative, illicit industry.
Neang Boratino, a Koh Kong investigator with the rights group Adhoc, said the court had summoned the journalists “because they are key witnesses of the killings of Chut Wutty and In Ratana.”

SORRY ,I GET LOST !!! I THOUGHT THE CASE WAS CLOSED AND THE SUSPECT IS CHARGED WITH UNINTENTIONAL KILLING . WHY FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED ? DID THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH TOGETHER WITH THE JUDICIAL BRANCH
INVESTIGATE THE CASE BEFORE CHARGING THE SUSPECT ? WILL KOH KONG KINGDOM COME UP WITH
ANOTHER VERSION OF THE SCENARIO ? I GET LOST !
Why called for the innocent two journalists to appear in Kangaroo court? Should the international court or Canadian court call for Hun Sen to testify the killing of the activist instead?
Hun Sen is the main suspect of the shooting. He is the one who order the murder of the activist.

Who is the killer that Hun Sen arrested? I don't know anything about that. The case didn't open yet. How come you think it closes already?.
Hun Sen's court won't find the killer, but he will arrest someone else to be a scapegoat. That's how Hun Sen taught from Viet Cong master.

Agree with^^^^^^above comment.
The last time KI-Media post was that the case were closed.
Now, Koh Kong is summoning the two journalist?
So, who's the knucklehead that cleared the case? After all, isn't Koh Kong a sole jurisdiction of this case?
Ah! The lawlessness country without boundary. Go figure!!!!
THE SUSPECT IN THIS CASE IS NOT JUST AN ORDINARY GUARD , HE IS THE
SPOILED SON OF A FORMER KOH KONG FORESTRY DIRECTOR WHO IS VERY RICH AND OWN A SHARE OF THE COMPANY WHICH HAS LICENSE TO
CLEAR FOREST IN CHINESE DAM's RESERVOIR . Here is the guess scenario :
Mr WUTTY AND THE TWO JOURNALISTS TOOK
SENSITIVE PICTURES IN THE AREA. THE SUDPECT WANTED TO CONFISCATE THE MEMORY CARDS , SO HE CALLED IN RATANA FOR HELP WHO SHOWED UP WITH AK47 RIFLE . MR WUTTY RESISTED , THEN THE SUSPECT GRABBED IN RATANA GUN AND SHOOTED WUTTY . THE SUSPECT THEN WANTED TO KILL
THE TWO JOURNALISTS . SUDDENTLY; IN RATANA TRIED TO PREVENT FURTHER KILLING
BY GRABBING THE BARREL OF HIS GUN .THEN
BANG!! IN RATANA WAS UNEXPECTEDLY SHOT
IN STOMACH . IN RATANA WAS DOWN BUT STILL ALIVE , SO THE SUSPECT FINISHED HIM OFF WITH ANOTHER SHOT IN HIS CHEST ... IT IS
INTENTIONAL KILLING . MR IN RATANA AND THE SUSPECT ARE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS .
