The witness was a worker at a rubber plantation in Peam Chi Kang until the B-52 bombings, and was later appointed to ‘Commune Militiaman’ in Sach Sou village, adjacent to Sambuor Meas village. The witness told the Trial Chamber about one large arrest where all the Cham people living in Sach Sou village, except for
one family (that is a husband and a wife) that was arrested. This took place after the establishment of the so-called Long Sword Group by the Southwest group, as recalled by the witness.

Despite never having seen any killing, the witnessed assured the court that ‘those who were brought into that pagoda would never return’.
