Mechanical failure likely caused blaze: officials
A FIRE, most likely the result of a mechanical malfunction, caused the helicopter crash that killed National Police Chief Hok Lundy and three others, investigators said Monday, a day after the death of Cambodia's controversial top cop who was a key ally of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
"The investigation is completed already. It was a probably mechanical failure that caused the fire and the crash," Mao Havannall, secretary of state for Cambodia's Civil Aviation Secretariat, told the Post.
Hok Lundy was travelling to the border town of Bavet, in Svay Rieng province, when aviation officials lost contact with the helicopter he was in.
Officials said that the aircraft ran into bad weather.
"Weather is difficult to predict, and the helicopter was vulnerable to lightning," said Him Sarun, chief of Cabinet for the Civil Aviation Secretariat, which sent a four-man team to the accident site Sunday evening.
‘A flame appeared at the tail'
A villager in Svay Rieng's Romduol district, where the crash occurred, said that he spotted the chopper flying through heavy rain around 7:30pm.
"A flame appeared at the tail of the helicopter," the witness told the Post, asking not to be named.
"About five minutes later the fire had reached the middle of the helicopter, which crashed down into the ground with an explosion," he added.
He said that authorities reached the site about an hour after the crash, but did not know until the bodies had been brought to the Svay Rieng provincial hospital that Hok Lundy was one of those killed.
RCAF General Sok Saem and two pilots, identified only as Ratha and Sitha, also died in the crash.
"At first, no one recognised who they were until the doctors cleaned their faces, and then we recognised General Hok Lundy and General Sok Saem," the witness said.
Penh Chea, deputy governor of Svay Tiep district in Svay Rieng, said the four bodies had been badly damaged in the crash, which left a tangle of debris littered across rice fields.
"Only the faces can be recognised," he said Monday in Phnom Penh, where preparations were under way for the funerals of Hok Lundy and Sok Saem.
Svay Rieng Governor Chieng An also said that a fire brought the helicopter down.
"People saw a fire at the tail of the helicopter and then it crashed to the ground," he said.
"I am sad to lose him [Hok Lundy], as he did a lot for the province," said Chieng An.

This Chieng An is sad, but Khmer around the World are celebrating. Hahaha...
Ah Mao Havannall, are you fucking crazy?! It took you and the rest of your irresponsible clowns a mere one day to arrive at the unequivocal conclusion that the cause of the crash was mechanical, though prelimarily reported was the weather. Tell your boss (Hun Sen) that he (and other accomplices)NEEDS to come clean. But, again, Ah Mao Havannall -- don't do the dirty job for Hun Sen, or perhaps you should considered those innocent pilots who killed in the crash.
Signed:
My office is right next to yours.
Hok Lundy took the helicopter in the evening not for an OFFICIAL MISSION and a Kathen, but to play in the CASINO at Bovet. He was known as an addicted gambler, like many other CPP high ranking officials.
The casino owner and staff were feared of him. When he lost money,
they gave them back the money, But when he won, he took the money.
Now he is going to play the Casino at the HELL.
Death to ALL Vietnamese disguised as Khmer who want to destroy our nation. You wont escape fate, Khmers may not know that you are a fake but GOD knows very well, and he will take your soul and throw you in hell like he did to the filthy animal Huc Lun Dy. Animals will die like animals, I wish I was there to see this bitches reaction when death was staring at him in the face, he probably begged God for mercy and shit his pants before his guts decided to jump out of his ass.
Hurry up and get burried so that I may piss on your tombstone you fucking Vietnamese filth Huc Lun Dy.
I cried, but not because I was overwhelmed with grief, but because I was overly excited to hear the good news that another Vietnamese disguised as a Khmer who thought that he was untouchable is now worm food.
LET US CELEBRATE THE DEATH OF A FILTHY VIET SPY.
4:37 PM
What much money are we talking about here, of course, when he lost?
Damn quick conclusion . Covered up assasination!
The dogs are killing themselves.
But who is complaining.
Kill, hun Sen ,kill all your henchmen
Then we will kill you!
I went along the Kampuchea Krom Road, I saw a lot of Viet coming to join his funeral. All of them are his relatives. Now, I just clear that actually he is 100% Viet. He did a lot lot of bad things to Cambodia. This is the curse comes true to him....
Enjoy your new found world bastard.
Let's be civilized, short and sweet about this - May you animal Hok Lundy (or whatever your real name is) be rotten in hell!
Hok Lundy will always be remembered as Khmer's best police chief ever.
6:41 PM
Everyone knows that Hun Sen killed him -- and along three other victims.
The Vietnamese must investigation into the crash, and bring Hun Sen to justice.
No, the Khmer Hero (Hok Lundy) was murdered by the Nazi Khmer-Oversea, but their days have been numbered. Soon they will faced justice for a serious crime against Khmer people.
7:37 PM, lucky you, all of those people you have mentioned had not raped your mother!!!
Have your mother been raped by those people yet, 7:37 PM. If not tell your mother to wait for her turn, don't be impatient, alright?
Well like they say, dog (HUN SEN) eats dog (HOK LUNDY)!
Hok Lundy with this Water Festival beginning, I pray with my countrymen THAT YOUR SOUL BE BURN IN PURGATORY FOR ETERNITY WITH THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF THE KHMER PEOPLE.
YOU WILL BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR CRIMES AND THE PAIN TO BEAR KNOWING YOUR WIFE (ALIVE) WILL BE SOMEONE ELSE SPERM DEPOSITORY. AND WHEN SHE DIE SHE'LL BE IN BOILING CULDRON, NOT WITH YOU.
ETERNAL DAMNATION FOR YOUR HANOIATION.
In the world of dog eats dog - who says that HUN SEN's most recent trip to HANOI is a waste huh?
At first the official said Lundy's body was found 5 meters from the helicopter and no injury on the body, not we know that the body are torned in pieces.
This is the Cambodian “curse” in Pali (use it people) it will comes true.

If the helicopter and the bodies of the deads indicating a "blown-up" sign, there should also be a possibility of explosion - bomb/rockets/fuel.
But whatever, to conclude an investigation in just one or two days and gave definitive or probable causes is in no way a good and thorough investigation.
Everybody just says "DOG EATS DOG"...
Samar Sam Puth Thor...
Mao Havannall...
He's always wear the clothes of Funcinpec.
but in reality, his mine is CPP.
Now he's a CPP... everything is clear...
Like Ung Huot, Ung KhuntaPhavy etc.
Hok Lundy's body was almost blown into pieces at the crash site. Some of the pieces are now being sold at eBay so people can buy it to feed their dogs. Buy it for 25 cents a piece.
Ah Hok Lundy,you didn't fly to Svayrieng on mission!!!You fly to play the Casino in Bavet!!!
If all CCP members do on mission,Khmer was very rich!!!Khmer people are very poor because the money to deverlopt,CPP members take for Casino in and outside!!!
as Ah Hun To played casino in Sweden!!!
Ah Hun To when you will come to sweden one more you will see what will be with you!!!Maybe you will to the hell the same Ah Hok Lundy!!!
Not long from now, Hun San's son will divorce his daughther now that he's dead. Anyone who is interested can marry her and bring that bitch to America and sold her to the brothel. This is to pay for the sin that her father had made Khmers suffering for so long.
His wife can be a nice little pussy too. I am sure Hok Lundy didn't fuck her for at least 20 years because he got so many young girls offered to him for free. That bitch must have accumulated tons of money. Bring her to America too so khmers here can share the wealth since the economy is so bad now, that would help alot.

Hok Lundy's wife and the relatives are living in fears now, knowing that her protector, Hok Lundy, has now gone from the Cambodia land. The sources in Phnom Penh said, the victims' families may be subject to retaliate to the maximum rate prior to the victims' families suffering. Other Phnom Penh source said, The Hok Lundy's family and their relatives may seek Vietnam Intervention and to protect them from Khmer Retaliation.
KNews from PP.
To all Cambodians in land,
I just receive e-mail say DJ Ano just pass away.
Don’t let the bitch Hok Landy wife and the four body guards get away
from what they had done to DJ Ano.
The wife of MAO Havanall is related to Hun Sen family.
