KHMER Rouge murder victim John Dewhirst’s sister has revealed how she hopes good can come from his killer’s trial.
John was the only Briton among 17,000 to die after being captured during the communist Khmer Rouge’s rule over Cambodia in the 1970s.
Now, 31 years after his death, his murderer, Kaing Guek Eav, known as Comrade Duch, is being tried by a UN-backed tribunal on genocide charges.
He has already confessed to John’s murder and invited victims of the regime to visit him.
