Police have named the men
they want to speak to as Miles Dicken Turner, from Britain, and a South African
man, Abel Caldeira Bonito.
A Briton is among two
suspects following the killing of a UK man at a beach resort in Thailand.
Tony Kenway, 39 and
originally from Southampton, was killed with a single shot to the head outside
a gym in Pattaya on Tuesday morning.
CCTV footage showed the
killer opening the door of the father-of-four's red Porsche and shooting him
once.
He then fled on a motorbike
with an accomplice.
It is suspected that Bonito
was the gunman and Turner the getaway rider.
According to the Bangkok
Post, eyewitnesses told police the shooter was a "chubby man wearing a
white T-shirt and black jacket".
Deputy national police
spokesman Colonel Krissana Pattanacharoen told AFP: "They are jointly
charged with premeditated murder, illegal possession of a firearm and also
carrying weapons without permission."
According to Thai media,
the pair may have fled over land to Cambodia.
Immigration authorities
have been given their details.
Pattaya is said to have a
reputation as a place with a seedy nightlife and links to the criminal
underworld.
Thai media said Mr Kenway
worked in IT and had lived in Thailand for several years with a local wife, who
has changed her main Facebook image to a black screen with "RIP"
written on it in white letters.
