PHNOM PENH, January 10, 2012 (AFP) - Lawyers for a top Khmer Rouge leader accused of genocide on Tuesday condemned alleged remarks by Cambodian Premier Hun Sen describing their client as a "killer" whose testimony was "deceitful".

The comments, reported by Vietnamese media last week, "were a very clear statement about the guilt of Nuon Chea by a high government official," defence lawyer Michiel Pestman complained to Cambodia's UN-backed court, as hearings resumed in a landmark atrocities trial.
