Kem Ley, longtime political analyst and organiser of the fledgling Grassroots Democracy Party, was shot dead this morning outside a CalTex service station on the corner of Monivong and Mao Tse Tuong Boulevards in Phnom Penh. National Police spokesman Kirth Chantharith confirmed the slaying.

“Yes, the person who was shot dead is Kem Ley,” Chantharith told the Post. “We don't know how many suspects yet, but we arrested one and he is being questioned now. The suspect said the motive of the killing was about [Ley] owing money. But we don't believe him yet. We are still questioning him.”

CalTex service attendants who spoke to Post reporters on condition of anonymity described hearing two to three shots.
