Cambodian Journalist Murdered
Bangkok Post | A Cambodian journalist who reported on rampant illegal logging in the country has been found murdered in the boot of his car, police said on Wednesday.
Hang Serei Oudom, a reporter at local-language Vorakchun Khmer Daily, was discovered on Tuesday, said senior police officer Song Bunthanorm. The vehicle was abandoned in a cashew nut plantation in northern Ratanakiri province.
“It is not a robbery case. It is a murder,” he said, adding the victim had suffered several blows to the head, probably by an axe.
The 44-year-old had been missing since leaving his home on Sunday evening.
“He wrote stories about forest crimes involving business people and powerful officials in the province,” said Vorakchun Khmer Daily editor-in-chief Rin Ratanak.
