US Ambassador to Cambodia, Mr. Charles Ray, told the Cambodia Daily that the police investigation into the killing of the prominent union leader Chea Vichea has a character of a professional and appropriate investigation.
Ambassador Ray made the comments following his meeting with Cambodia's Co-Minister of the Interior, Mr Sar Kheng to push for the police investigation of Chea Vichea's murder.
Cambodia's observers and representatives of the Non-Governmental Organizations say they are surprised by the US Ambassador's statement.
