Documentation center of Cambodia Mapping project 1999, Kandal Province. Mr. Ruos Sum told us that during the Khmer Rouge regime, he lived in Khnol Roka village None of the Prisoners detained in this Wat survived. They were detained and cuffed in the dark prison, and they were not allowed to go outside to perform their bodily functions; instead, they had to do it in their cells with their feet cuffed. He added that after 1979, he collected two sacks of shackles (some thirty-five to forty kilograms). He intended to take them and fashion them into rakes for his solidarity Cultivation Group, but as he was returning to his group along the waterway, he looked into the sack and saw too much human flesh on the cuffs. So he decided to throw them into the water. He said that shortly after January 7,1979, he saw some other incriminating objects such as iron bars and slot-shaped iron pieces, which had been used as part of the shackling system. At this point in our interview, the dub-district Chief summoned a person named Yi Heng. He had been here during the Pol Pot time and served as the Chief of a Mobile Cell. Qt that time he lived in Barong village, one kilometer from the execution sites. Since 1979, he has lived in Khnol Roka village, near the wat.
