NZ man shot and killed in Thailand

A Waikanae man was shot and killed in Thailand last week, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said today.

Stephen Miller, 39, who worked in real estate in the resort city of Pattaya, 147km south of Bangkok, was travelling to his gym on a motor scooter on Thursday morning when he was shot.

Police identified him from a New Zealand drivers' licence he was carrying. Mr Miller had been in Thailand for about three years.
