PHNOM PENH — Prosecutors called Tuesday for the former Khmer Rouge prison chief to receive a long jail term for his role in the "Killing Fields" atrocities as they delivered final arguments in his trial.
Kaing Guek Eav -- better known as Duch -- has admitted responsibility and apologised repeatedly for his role in the horrors of Cambodia's hardline communist regime, which killed up to two million people in the 1970s.
But prosecutors at the UN-backed court argued that 67-year-old Duch "was the personification of ruthless efficiency" and the "perfect candidate" to run the movement's model political prison.
