Phnom Penh - Investigating judges at Cambodia's war crimes tribunal said Thursday that they had concluded their two-and-a-half-year investigation into four former leaders of the Khmer Rouge regime.
The decision on whether to prosecute them for war crimes was expected in September.
Lars Olsen, a spokesman at the hybrid UN-Cambodian court, established in 2006, said the inquiry's end marked a milestone in the proceedings of the case.
The four former leaders have been charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for their alleged roles in the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people during the Khmer Rouge's rule of Cambodia from 1975 to 1979.
