Khmer Rouge jailer Kaing Guek Eav (Comrade Duch) on trial in Phnom Penh. [Robert Carmichael]ABC Radio Australia
A New Zealand man whose brother was murdered by the Khmer Rouge has told a war crimes court in Cambodia he felt like killing the head of the torture prison where his brother died.
New Zealander Rob Hamill has come face to face with Kaing Guek Eav, who is standing trial before the tribunal.
Hamill, an Olympic rowing competitor, slowly read out a victim impact statement to the court in Phnom Penh.
His brother, Kerry, was one of three foreigners killed by the Khmer Rouge when their yacht was blown off course into Cambodian waters in 1978.
Kerry Hamill was tortured, forced to say he was a CIA agent, and was executed.
