Pich Kimsrin, a 24-year-old Cambodian man suspected of killing former Cambodian opposition MP Lim Kimya, was put on a red notice by the International Criminal Police Organization ( Interpol ) at the request of Thai police.
The warrant, according to Pol Lt. Gen. Sayam Boonsom, director of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, may enable officials from both Interpol and the Thai National Police to record the suspect who is alleged to have used the spy to conceal the shooter.
The MPB is presently looking into the monetary dealings of Bangkok Remand Prisoner Ekkalak Phaenoi, who is already being detained. According to Pol Lt. Gen. Sayam, these information are anticipated to show the mastermind’s identity.
Lim Kimya, 73, arrived in Bangkok by vehicle from Siem Reap state, Cambodia, on Jan 7.

Mr. Pich served as a spy while Mr. Ekkalak is accused of carrying out the strike. They ran away from the scene right away.
Mr Ekkalak was arrested on Jan 8 in Battambang, Cambodia, and was brought into captivity on Monday, while Mr Pich remains at large.
According to MPB chief Pol Maj Gen Theeradej Thumsuthee, the authorities arrested another think, Chakrit Buakhli, in Chon Buri on Tuesday.
Mr Chakrit, 47, was reported to have helped Mr Ekkalak prepare the crime and aid his journey from fairness.
Following the shooting, Mr Chakrit drove Mr Ekkalak to Sa Keao, according to the CCTV cameras images.
Four days before the tragedy, investigators discovered records of a phone conversation between the couple at 1:30 p.m.
Mr. Chakrit was accused of assisting in a murder, to which he partly retorted.
Pol Maj Gen Theeradej claimed that Mr. Chakrit had known Mr. Ekkalak for at least two times while he was a sea and that he was the one in the CCTV images.
He claimed that he had never been aware of the violence and had been driving for people crossing Thai-Cambodian borders gates in Chanthaburi at the time.
