A puzzling homicide case took a turn for the bizarre at the Appeal Court yesterday, when the man named as victim showed up to ask judges to withdraw the charges.

Kong Sithon, Chuon Sambath and Srun Sothy, of Koh Kong province’s Mondul Seima district, were convicted of murder in April 2013, about seven months after a body wrapped in a hammock was found in bush land about one kilometre from Sothy’s house in Bak Khlang commune’s Village II, according to police statements read to the court.
