BANGKOK: An alleged gunman went on trial Tuesday 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 neighboring Cambodia a day later and handed over to Thai authorities. He now faces a premeditated murder charge.
