CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australian police released Friday a shocking x-ray photo showing the skull of a murdered Chinese immigrant shot 34 times in the head and neck with a high-power nail gun.

The body of Chen Liu, 27, was found by two children last year in marshland in south Sydney, wrapped in a carpet and bound with electrical wire.

Now what are they going to do? Ask for a registration and/or ban on nail guns?


What a way to go though, makes me shudder.

Almost sounds like someone out on a jobsite had to have something to do with it. The electrical wire, the nailgun, the duct tape? Thats just sick.

A penny for my thoughts:
Shoot, when nail guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have nail guns.

Sad thing is that there is no way to tell how many perpetrators there were - if it was a gang against this one chap or just one or a couple. Those nail guns have safety switches, so firing a nail or nails is a very deliberate act.
