The killer of Chut Wutty's killer sentenced to 2 years jail, but would serve only 2 months [Was he the real killer or just a scapegoat?]

Killer of activist’s murderer convicted 

KOH KONG (Cambodia Herald) – Koh Kong Provincial Court convicted a security guard Monday for killing the alleged murderer of an environmental activist.

Timber Green security guard Ran Borath received a two-year sentence which was suspended by 18 months. Sources said he would be released on November 3 if there is no appeal.

The guard has already been detained for six months for the accidental killing of military policemen In Rotana, the main suspect in the fatal shooting of environmental activist Chut Wutty in April.

Judge Kam Sophary has already closed the case of Chut Wutty, who headed the Natural Resources Protection Organization. He was accompanying two journalists to observe illegal logging activities when he was shot in Bak Klong commune in Koh Kong's Mondol Seima district.
