BANGKOK: Thai police said Wednesday (Jan 15) they are hunting a Cambodian national believed to be the mastermind behind the killing of a Cambodian opposition politician in downtown Bangkok last week.
Lim Kimya, a former lawmaker for the dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), was shot dead last week by a motorcyclist as he arrived in Bangkok by bus from Cambodia with his French wife.
