PHNOM PENH: A survivor of a Khmer Rouge torture prison told Cambodia's UN-backed war crimes tribunal yesterday that he had escaped death by crawling out of a pit of corpses and floating down a river on a plank.
Phork Khan, 57, said guards had pushed him into a mass grave on a site he believed was the Choeng Ek "killing field", on Phnom Penh's outskirts.
"I was put at the edge of the pit and I knew it would be my last day," he said. "At about 2am I regained consciousness. My hands were tied, but I tried to move, crawling on top of the corpses."
Testifying at the trial of Kaing Guek Eav, alias Duch, the former chief of the S-21 torture facility, Phork said he had climbed on to a piece of wood floating in the nearby Tonle Sap River and had let the current carry him into the centre of Phnom Penh.
The judges said his claims were in "stark contrast" to the complaint he had filed with the court. When they asked how he had known that the execution site was Choeng Ek, Phork said he had became aware of the killing field's name on a recent visit to S-21, which is now a museum.
