PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AFP)–A former Khmer Rouge jailer who oversaw the deaths of about 15,000 people will spend the rest of his life in jail, Cambodia’s U.N.-backed court ruled in a final appeal verdict Friday.
“The Supreme Court Chamber decides to impose a sentence of life imprisonment against Kaing Guek Eav,” said Kong Srim, president of the court’s highest appeal body, increasing the earlier sentence of 30 years.
