12 years ago July 6, 1999, this day in history, the famous Cambodian royal ballet dancer and movie star was shot down in a market street in a morning daylight. Investigations led to nowhere. This is what it is said in the internet:
On July 6, 1999, she was shot dead by an unknown gunman while shopping at Orussey Market in Phnom Penh. At 6:30 am on 13 July 1999 she died (UTC+7). In October 1999, following Pisith Pilika's assassination, the French magazine L’Express claimed that the actress’ diary recounted a love affair with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and pointed to Bun Rany, Hun Sen's wife, as responsible for arranging the shooting; the magazine also claimed that on her deathbed the actress had named Bun Rany to several people. Bun Rany quickly denounced these charges, and announced that she would press charges against L’Express for defamation.[1] No charges were ever brought against l'Express, however.[2]
