After believing that the father, an opposition journalist, was the target of the killers, the police are now wondering if the son was not the target instead.
In spite of the FBI help, Cambodian police have a hard time advancing their investigation.
“Up to now, we focused our research on the father, but now, we have more reasons to believe that the son was the target of this double murder,” said Touch Naroth, the Phnom Penh police commissioner.
While the election campaign was in full swing last 11 July, 47-year-old Khim Sambor, a journalist for the opposition Moneaksekar Khmer daily newspaper, and his 21-year-old son was killed in the middle of the street while they were leaving the Olympic Stadium.
