Him Huy failed to kill prisoners personally, says Duch
Former Tuol Sleng prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, best known as Duch, on 20 July 2009 told Cambodia’s war crimes court that Him Huy failed to kill prisoners personally, just being tasked with bringing prisoners into and out of Tuol Sleng.
“Him Huy was a platoon cadre in charge of bringing prisoners into Tuol Sleng detention camp and sending prisoners to be killed at Chhoeung Ek,” Duch said.
No order was given to Him Huy to kill prisoners personally, Duch maintained. Killing prisoners was a task of Him Huy’s subordinates. “Him Huy followed my order toward crimes at Tuol Sleng.”
