ChhoukRin was charged in June with involvement in the killings of Australian David Wilson, Briton Mark Slater and Frenchman Jean-Michel Braquet, all in their mid-20s.
ChhoukRin admitted to leading the attack, and his former superior, Nuon Paet, implicated him in June during his own trial by saying ChhoukRin had ordered the tourists be put to death after the government failed to meet ransom demands.
ChhoukRin had remained free because of his status as one of the first prominent Khmer Rouge to defect during the group’s long civil war.
