After the discovery, the police questioned the owner of the house, but on the afternoon of the same day, the authorities also released him.

According to the official report on this case, Lt. Col. Reth Sineth, Deputy Chief of the Criminal Bureau Phnom Penh Municipal Police drove a car in front of the other person's car, who then pulled out a Glock pistol in order to escape after causing a minor traffic accident.

This story as described by a witness report is that the victim left a restaurant near Wat Phnom with a friend, and was driving on Russian Federation Boulevard from east to west, when a black Lexus RX300, with license plate Siem Reap 2A-4546, crashed into the back of the victim's Ford vehicle, causing some damage. The Lexus RX300 was also damaged on the front right-hand side, and there were 5 people in the car who were unharmed: 2 men, 2 women and a small child.)

Following the accident, the victim, Reth Sineth, drove his car in front of the Lexus RX300 and pulled out a Glock pistol and aimed it at the Lexus RX300 in order to prevent them from escaping.
The two men in the Lexus then got out to negotiate with the victim, agreeing to have his Ford car repaired in the area behind the monk's hospital. The men also agreed to allow the two women and the small child to leave the scene by a Pass App tuktuk while they negociated the settlement.
The victim and his friend were looking at the damaged Ford when two of the perpetrators, who caused the accident, pulled out an unknown brand of pistol and shot the victim from behind, causing him to die at the scene.

Two suspects then drove off in their Lexus RX300 on Russian Federation Boulevard and escaped. Ngan Phillin, the friend of the victim, rushed over to him and removed the victim's gun from the right pocket and fired off three or more bullets in the direction of the escaping car.

The Office of Technical, Scientific and Oknha Dr. Nong Sovannaroth, Phnom Penh Municipal Doctor, conducted an autopsy, confirming that "the victim died of murder in a shooting caused by a traffic accident."

Meanwhile, on the afternoon of December 30, 2020, the police found the Lexus RX300 car that belonged to the perpetrator in Prek Pnov district, but nobody has been arrested yet.

Sorry? Which we is that? The we that includes you and me? If so, don’t be too hasty to be talking for anybody but yourself.
Where did ‘professional hit’ come into this, btw?

As for looking at a video, and making observations on things that CAN be observed. Those things have been observed, and commented upon, But not embellished. Some people today are still possess the skills to observe, comprehend, form hypotheses and draw conclusions.
It’s of great interest to those who may be interested, not least for the seemingly random escalation, and then for the pistol to be picked up and several more shots fired excitedly at a vehicle that is fast moving away. It would be interesting to know how many of those rounds hit the target (I’d be surprised if it was more that zero), and should be a point of concern to any of us where those random rounds actually ended up.

However. If you, flea, would care to supply an approved list of topics that you deem appropriate and safe for the rest of us to discuss, I’m sure the owners of CEO, and the wider membership will be very much in your debt.

Wow.

The group identity is strong in you. The other guy IRA was talking about there is more to this than what is seen or something like that.
Personally I think it's better to wait until the story unfolds before you start making silly assumptions.
It's a lot clearer now even after just a few more hours so I will wait until the picture has fully developed until I comment.
I don't speak for anybody but myself.
Maybe you can come up with the list of subjects that you prefer me not to comment on that would be easier?

A very cool name nevertheless, Reth Seth, called Nhok. May Reth Seth, called Nhok RIP.
