Man Kills Witch Doctor, Eats His Liver
PHNOM PENH ? A former Khmer Rouge guerrilla shot and killed a witch doctor and ate his liver
after blaming him for the death of his two children, an army officer said on Thursday.
"He killed the magic doctor and cut out and cooked his liver because he was very angry after his two
children died and his sister got sick,' senior military official in western Battambang province, General
Bun Seng, told Reuters.
"He believed the magic doctor was to blame,' he said.
The former guerrilla, who had recently been inducted into the government army, had been charged with
murder. Three other villagers involved in the attack on the traditional healer were charged with
conspiracy to murder, Bun Seng said.
"The soldier had been on a human rights course but he still didn't understand the concept,' he said.
