Vietnam refuses to return cop after killing
Phnom Penh Post | 19 July 2016
Vietnamese officials have refused to repatriate a Cambodian police officer who allegedly shot and killed one Vietnamese national and injured a second on Saturday after crossing the border to visit his “second wife”.
Lay Bunthy, deputy police chief at the Phnom Den International
Checkpoint, could face a life sentence in Vietnam, said Yuk Sarat,
Takeo’s Kiri Vong district police chief.
Bunthy is suspected of using a K-59 pistol to kill Le Van Duoc and
injure Phan Van Quang in revenge after being beaten by Van Duoc three
months ago, Sarat said.
Meanwhile, the Vietnamese Embassy in Phnom Penh yesterday said the
Cambodian government would be asked to investigate the fatal shooting of
two Vietnamese fishermen by Cambodian officers over the weekend.
The two were part of a group of Vietnamese fishermen discovered in a tributary of the Bassac River.
Ministry of Interior Spokesman Khieu Sopheak said the ministry hadn’t
received the request but would conduct an investigation anyway.
