PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Five former Khmer Rouge soldiers accused of killing a British mine-clearing expert 12 years ago testified Friday that another soldier shot the man in the head as he sat in the dark at their remote base. Christopher Howes, 37 at the time of his death, was abducted in March 1996 by the Khmer Rouge along with Cambodian co-workers while clearing mines.
The one-day trial for his murder ended Friday. The judge, Iv Kim Sri, said he would deliver his verdict Oct. 14.
