The Amirul Case

Well, let the circus begin. That's what they all say. I have been scratching my head already. Here are two articles from MCA-controlled The Star:

Firstly, one of the articles say that there were 19 bullets casing fired by one police officer at the scene. Amirul, the victim, is a 15 year old boy.

The question is - how on earth did a police offer fire 19 bullets. That would be difficult if it is from a revolver. He must have been damn quick at reloading it. In any case, I doubt it. Why shoot the poor guy 19 times?

The next article provides some light. It says the police officer in question has training with MP5. That's a sub-machine gun. So, did the police machine-gun a 15 year old? Wow! You mean, he didn't machine gun him? So, he shot him 19 times, and he was a sharp shooter? I just fail to connect the logic. Did the poor boy have 18 lives? Had to be shot 19 times accurately before he died?

Another fact to note - a MP5 has a magazine of 15 bullets (based on wikipedia). Hmmm. So, he did have the time to re-load and continue shooting.

Too many facts do not fit the case. Just like - where did the C4 explosives come from to blow up Altantuya? What's the motive of the two policemen to murder Altantuya? The circus continues.
