I didn’t see him mentioned yet, and don’t think anybody had him, but Nuon “Brother No. 2” Chea died on 8/4/19 at the age of 93. That was a hell of a lot older than most of his and Pol Pot’s victims ever got to be. Referring to those who were murdered, he said “We only killed the bad people, not the good” and “We didn’t kill many”. “Not many” being about two million, or a quarter of the population of Cambodia. ---
