Lawmaker’s murder trial begins
The Mercury
|October 01, 2025
AN ALLEGED gunman went on trial yesterday in Bangkok over the murder of a Cambodian opposition politician whose widow called for a full accounting of who was behind the killing.
-
French national 73-year-old Lim Kimya, a former opposition lawmaker in Cambodia, was shot dead on January 7 by a motorcyclist as the ex-MP arrived in the Thai capital.
A Thai citizen, Ekkalak Paenoi, was arrested in neighbouring Cambodia a day later and handed over to Thai authorities. He now faces a premeditated murder charge.
Ekkalak confessed to the killing in a livestream video, but Lim Kimya's widow, Anne-Marie Lim, called yesterday for a full accounting of why her husband was murdered.
“I want to know the reason for this crime and who ordered it. That’s what I want to know most of all,” she said outside the court in Bangkok, carrying a portrait of her slain husband.
