Three
years after French citizen Laurent Vallier and his four children were
found dead in a car sunk in a pond behind their home in Kampong Speu
province, French authorities yesterday said investigations are
continuing, and narrowing.
In
a statement released by the French Embassy, investigating judge
Claudine Enfoux and her team pointed to the next focus of their probe.
“As
the murders are now formally recognised, the investigation will now
focus on a few individuals whose testimony have highlighted
contradictions,” the release said.
French
authorities joined the investigation in March 2013, more than a year
after the bodies were discovered, and quickly ruled out local
authorities’ initial ruling of a murder-suicide.
Lieutenant
General Mok Chito, deputy chief of National Police, yesterday confirmed
that Cambodian authorities are continuing to work “in collaboration”
with the French embassy and judge.
“Our
police now are still searching for suspects in this case of Laurent
Vallier and his children. Police will re-investigate and re-questioning
related suspects again,” he said.
