Following the murder of a British businessman in Pattaya on Tuesday, arrest warrants have been issued for a Briton and a South African.
Chon Buri police said the court approved the warrants against Miles Turner, who holds a British passport, and Abel Caldeira Bonito, who holds a South African passport.
They were charged with collaborating in killing Tony Kenway, 39, and with being in possession of a gun and ammunition without a license as well as carrying firearms in a public place.
Immigration records showed that the two had fled to Cambodia via an immigration checkpoint in Trat at 3 pm on Tuesday, not long after killing Kenway.
Thai police are seeking help from their Cambodia counterparts to try to locate and capture the two.
Police saw the license plate of the motorcycle used by the pillion-rider gunman and checked with motorcycle renting service shops in Pattaya and found that the two registered their names to rent the machine.
Police said Bonito allegedly shot Kenway and Turner drove the motorcycle.
