Police investigators are considering the possibility that the son of the journalist could have been the killers’ target and not his father, as previously thought.

Despite the assistance of the FBI, investigators are still struggling to find clues.

“Our investigation focused on the father but we are now more inclined to think that his son could be the reason behind the double killing”, declared Touch Naroth, the Phnom Penh police commissioner.

During the electoral campaign, Khim Sambor, aged 47, a journalist for the opposition daily Moneaksekar Khmer, and his 21 year-old son were killed in the street as they were leaving the Olympic stadium on July 11.
