People who study about a human killing in Cambodia confirmed that, an answer from a former chief of Toul Sleng prison, Karng Kariev, well known Duch, in Khmer Rough Court is an absolute exactly example in order to study, to understand, and to reflect the results that one person became violent and dear to act cruel.

When he was asked, "what reason did Duch that to be a teacher, an educated person; however, changed into a person who they considered to be a chief of murderers?" and why until now Duch accepted his actions from a human killing since 30 years agao is the fault?

A director of Cambodian documentary center, Mr. Chharng You describes the reasons that leads to the three points involvement that included "Mind, Decision, and each distint person."

Mr. Chharng You told that "in our Cambodian cultures, language for speaking, using words about human being behavior, using gesture is an important to demonstate about a cruel action and an appropriation of human. And all of these, we cannot see through about his past cruel action, unhuman, as the example in this confession. An answering of confession from a woman writes about his yelling, "Me Nis Leak Khsei Vear Darkk Kei Eng Tarm Jet" His behavior in this words, if we can udnerstand in Khmer, sound like violence, unhuman being, rude, very bad, like a person is about to kill someone!
