The Pan Pacific Films team will return to Phnom Penh for the sentencing of Kaing Guek Eav, known as Duch (pronounced Doik), the man responsible for the torture and murder of Kerry Hamill, oldest brother of Olympian rower Rob in 1978, during the Khmer Rouge’s rule of Cambodia.
The date for the sentencing hasn’t been set, but is likely to take place in January. Earlier this year the production team accompanied Rob Hamill to Phnom Penh for Duch’s trial, at which Mr. Hamill addressed the court on behalf of his brother and the family. Former New Zealand governor-general Dame Silvia Cartwright was one of the five judges hearing the case.
