Progress in the case of the assassination of Lim Kimya, former opposition MP from the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), on January 7. Authorities arrested Chakit Buaplee, 47, a suspect under an arrest warrant from the Criminal Court.
Chakit had driven Ekkaluck Paenoi, the shooter of Lim, across the Thai-Cambodian border. He was apprehended in Sri Racha District, Chonburi Province, on January 13, 2025.
On Tuesday (January 14, 2025), police brought Chakit to the Criminal Court for the first remand on charges of aiding in premeditated murder. Police opposed bail for the suspect, fearing he might interfere with evidence, as he had denied the charges during the investigation.
