Through examination, authorities discovered 14 bullet wounds on the forest ranger's body.
On December 3, Mr. Le Minh Tien, Director of Ea So Nature Reserve ( Dak Lak province) said that there was a report about a forest ranger of the unit dying while patrolling at a deforestation hotspot.
According to the report, at 1am on December 3, the authorities completed the autopsy. Initial preliminary findings showed that Mr. NKA (acting Station Chief of Forest Ranger Station No. 2) was shot with a homemade gun, with 14 bullet wounds. The victim's body has been handed over to his family for burial.
The Ea So Nature Reserve Management Board added that Mr. A. died at a patrol hotspot, near the road where the forest rangers blocked off to prevent people from entering the Ea So Nature Reserve.
It is known that at 5am on December 2nd, colleagues woke up and did not see Mr. A. at the station. From 8am to 11am the same day, colleagues called Mr. A. but the phone rang but no one answered.
Afterwards, the forest rangers went to look for Mr. A. at the usual patrol locations and ambushed to catch the illegal loggers. When they arrived, people found Mr. A.'s motorbike but could not find him.
The conservation area's leaders sent more forces to search for Mr. A. At 3:00 p.m. on December 2, Mr. A. was found dead in a local cornfield.
Dak Lak Provincial Police are currently coordinating with relevant units to investigate and clarify the cause of the incident.
