AN autopsy on a body found in a shallow grave in Sala Krao district in Pailin just over the Cambodian border on Monday has suggested it is a Thai businessman who invested in a casino in the infamous gem town who went missing earlier this month.

Somnuek Charunchirathian, 51, known as “Sia Tum”, disappeared on February 13 from the Pailin Flamingo Casino in the west Cambodian province.
The autopsy showed the victim died from gunshots to the neck and chest.
