BANGKOK (Reuters) -A Thai court on Friday imposed the death penalty and commuted it to life imprisonment for a hitman who shot dead a former Cambodian opposition lawmaker in Bangkok in January, the lawyer for the victim’s family told Reuters. A Thai criminal court handed Ekkalak a death sentence for premeditated murder, and also found him guilty of carrying a weapon and discharging a firearm in public, Nadthasiri Bergman, a lawyer for Lim Kimya’s widow, told Reuters. Two Cambodian nationals who are wanted in connection to the killing, Ly Ratanaksmey and Pich Kimsrin, have fled Thailand. Their arrest warrants were issued by a Thai court in January. Kim Limya’s family wanted the Thai authorities to continue with its investigation and bring the other two to justice, Nadthasiri said.
