A Te Pahu man whose brother was murdered by the Khmer Rouge is calling on expatriate Cambodians to file complaints in a civil court action over the case.
Olympic rower Rob Hamill’s older brother Kerry was abducted by the Khmer Rouge in 1978 when his yacht strayed into Cambodian waters, and taken prisoner at Toul Sleng prison in Phnom Penh, where he was tortured and murdered.
Rob Hamill is a civil party to a case against five people thought to be under investigation by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia for his killing, and other war crimes.
Though the names of those being investigated have not been made public, Mr Hamill believes two of them are military commanders Meas Muth and Sou Met, whom he has accused of crimes against humanity.
