Albertina Caldeira’s disappearance – which is believed to have seen her return to her family home in Portugal – follows Thai police launching an international manhunt for her son‚ who was caught on CCTV footage allegedly shooting dead 39-year-old British citizen‚ Tony Kenway.
Kenway was gunned down in a Thai seaside town on Tuesday as he climbed into his Porsche. Video footage shows what is believed to be Caldeira walking towards Kenway as he left a nearby gym and opening his car door as he Kenway prepared to drive off.
The gunman‚ who leans into the car and fires several shots‚ is then seen running off towards an awaiting motorbike‚ which is believed to have been driven by British national Miles Turner‚ with the two then driving off.
The suspects were identified after Thai police traced the shop where the motorbike had been rented from. Both Turner and Caldeira‚ who is from Orkney in the North West‚ had used their passports when filling out their details to rent the motorbike.
Both men‚ according to Thai police‚ entered the country from Cambodia last week. They are‚ according to that country’s authorities‚ believed to have fled through the same border post just hours after Kenway‚ who is a father of four‚ was shot.
