Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes trial has been told by former prison chief Duch that he prayed for forgiveness over his shocking past.
Kaing Guek Eav, who is better known as Duch, is on trial for overseeing the torture and killing of 15,000 people.
All of the dead had been committed to notorious Tuol Sleng prison, also known as S-21, which Duch controlled in the days of the communist leader, Pol Pot.
Duch began to sob uncontrollably, when confronted with photos of his alleged victims.
He said his prison-organised trip to Choeung Ek, the so-called killing field where prisoners were executed, had filled him with sorrow.
Duch said he held annual prayer meetings to ask forgiveness from his parents, teachers and victims of his crimes.
When his trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity began in March, Duch accepted responsibility for his role at Tuol Sleng.
He has nevertheless consistently rejected claims by prosecutors that he was involved in mass torture, maintaining he only ever tortured two people himself and never personally executed anyone.

Duch is created by pouk a khmers krahom in Paris so many years so these khmers krahom who still living and evaporated in the nature must bring to the trial with the monster.
it's easier to make apology. however, can duch and his KR clique bring back the million of lives perished under their stupid, ultra-backward, brutal regime? the answer is no! they had done the deed already! please persecute them for their heinious crime against cambodia and its khmer people and citizens! don't forget they destroyed cambodia!
i know, the last i read, pol pot, khiev samphan and company were educated in france, didn't they? we, khmer people, wonder how they learn to kill khmer and destroy cambodia! go figure. now it seem the srp and company are perhaps echoing the same tone as pol pot and his stupid, idiot, moron gangs of monster who were really ignorant, to say the least, especially killing and destroying your own people and country. what kind of patriot was that? a hypocritical one at best! god bless cambodia from now to eternity!
Those khmer rouges will not have a chance to kill their own people until ah tmil SIHANOUK hopped on board and began misleading innocence khmer to join them.This tmil should be hanged.
