A man was arrested Monday for allegedly extorting cash from a reporter after the reporter refused a deal to hand over a video allegedly taken by video journalist Kenji Nagai, who was gunned down by Myanmar security troops last September, the Metropolitan Police Department said Tuesday. The man, identified as Maung Win Min Htun, a Myanmar national who lives in Tokyo’s Katsushika Ward, denies the allegation, according to police.

According to the investigation, the suspect contacted the 33-year-old reporter with Tokyo-based APF News Inc in December, for which Nagai was working, saying he could obtain video footage Nagai had taken but he would need money to do so. After the reporter refused the deal, the suspect is alleged to have attempted to extort money from the reporter at a Tokyo restaurant Jan 14. He is quoted as saying he would resort to taking some action unless he was paid around 500,000 yen. Nagai was killed while videotaping anti-government demonstrations in Myanmar. The Myanmar government has not returned his video camera and tapes, despite repeated requests by his relatives. http://current.com/items/89330167_man_nabbed_for_attempted_extortion_over_journalist_slain_in_myanmar မွ
