Cambodian police arrests British prime suspect in Thai murder

Xinhua, February 15, 2017 Adjust font size:

Cambodian police have arrested a British man who is the alleged mastermind in the murder of a British businessman in Pattaya, Thailand last month, a senior police official said on Wednesday.

"The General Department of Immigration (GDI) has arrested a British suspect in the Pattaya murder and sent him to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court this morning," National Police deputy chief Chhay Sinarith told Xinhua.

Phnom Penh Municipal Court spokesman Ly Sophana confirmed that the British man was identified as Nelhams Toby Jamie, 45.

He said the court's presecutor Seang Sok had questioned the suspect as a formal charge against him was not made yet.

Nelhams Toby Jamie allegedly masterminded the killing of British businessman Tony Kenway, 39, in Pattaya, Thailand on January 24, according to the Bangkok Post on Saturday.

Thai police said the suspected shooter, South African Abel Caldeira Bonito, 28, and alleged getaway driver, Briton Miles Dicken Turner, 24, also fled to Cambodia on the day of the murder. Enditem
