The person who was imbued with extreme power, a ruthless man whom everybody are scared of, a drug dealer whose name appeared on the US government blacklist, a leader of a successful coup d’état, a man who knew the in and out of the assassinations of countless politicians, journalists and actresses, that person was no other than the defunct General Hok Lundy. His death was a tragedy for his family and for those who use to reap profit from him, however, for the victims who suffered under his hands, Hok Lundy’s death is a wish that they have prayed for.
Following the 54th anniversary of Cambodia’s independence on 09 November 2008, 4-golden-star general Hok Lundy climbed on his personal helicopter with General Sok Sa’em, the deputy army chief of staff heading to Svay Rieng province, but a few hours later, it was reported that Hok Lundy’s helicopter crashed after lightning struck it. Nobody in the helicopter survived, two pilots also counted among the dead. The helicopter broke into pieces, and the body remains were no longer complete, i.e. all that were left were bits and pieces of flesh and bones that were spread and mixed up all over.
Investigating cops from the ministry of Interior (MoI) were dispatched to the spot in the middle of the night to check on this accident. The MoI cops indicated that the helicopter crashed from lightning strike, and not from sabotage. The announcement of this hypothesis calmed down the emotion reigning among many people.
