Otago Daily Times (New Zealand)
Former champion New Zealand rower Rob Hamill has appealed for people in Australia's Northern Territory to help him piece together some of the last days of his brother's life there, before he set off in a yacht and was brutally murdered by the Khmer Rouge.
Kerry Hamill, 27, was tortured and forced to falsely confess to being a CIA agent before the Cambodians killed him.
He spent several years in Darwin before buying a yacht and being captured in Cambodian waters in August 1978.
Rob Hamill testified at the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in the case against the party's torture master Guek Eav Kaing -- known as Comrade Duch -- in Phnom Penh last year.
