Bangkok: On Monday ( Jan 13 ), a Thai court granted a man’s request to remain in Thailand for 12 days after being charged with killing a Cambodian opposition politician in an attack there.
Ekkalak Paenoi, who gave his confession to the violence on Saturday in a video picture, was escorted to the Bangkok courtroom while wearing a hat and bulletproof vest, along with armed policemen.
A motorcyclist shot dead former Cambodian National Rescue Party ( CNRP ) lawmaker Lim Kimya on Tuesday as he arrived in Bangkok by bus with his French wife.
” The prosecutor has extended the confinement to help further inspection, and he has been sent to Bangkok Remand Prison”, said senior police officer Attaporn Wongsiripreeda.
Ekkalak, who was allegedly a previous sea, was detained in Cambodia on Wednesday before being extradited to Thailand on Saturday.
Hun Sen, the country’s eminently strong former leader, has been accused of ordering the shooting by Cambodian opposition figures, despite a government spokesman who has denied established involvement.
Before bringing the case before the prosecution, Thai authorities did finish the research.
Some Thai press reports said Ekkalak was paid 60, 000 baht ( US$ 1, 700 ) for the killing, but police say he has claimed he did not receive payment, and took the job” to pay a bill of gratitude”.
