Lon Nil

Lon Nil

Lon Nil was a Cambodian politician and brother of Prime Minister Lon Nol. While King Norodom Sihanouk was on a trip abroad in Beijing, China, on March 18, 1970, Prince Sirik Matak assisted Prime Minister Lon Nol, in organizing a vote of the National Assembly to depose Siahnouk as head of state and to himself emergency powers.

Lon Nil was in the countryside of Cambodia monitoring the villages when Sihanouk made a public appeal in China for Cambodians to join with the Khmer Rouge and revolt against the government. In Kompong Cham, a group seized Lon Nil, killed him and tore his liver from his stomach. It was then taken into a Chinese restaurant, where the owner was ordered to cook and slice it. It was then served to people in the immediate area.
