R. Elangovan L.S. Santana R. Pannir S. Vadivelan S. Gurusamy R. Dilip Kumar	38 34 28 29 50 20	19 Feb 2009	6 suspected as armed robbers were shoot dead by police, none of the persons that were shot survived to be arrested...charged and tried. What are the chances that all the 6 men are killed in the shooting? Odd, that not a single policeman seem to have suffered any injury by reason of being shot...although they say that the 6 shot at the police... 8 policeman and 6 allegedly suspects in shoot-out, all 6 dies, and not a single police officer killed or sustained any bullet wound. All victim shoot on top of their head. How this could be in a defends shoot out? This incident needs some serious investigations? Were the police targetting areas of the victims bodies that will cause death - or were they trying to just shoot, injure them and arrest them? Why did this incident involve '... CID officers and personnel from Bukit Aman, Penang, Perak and Kedah...'. Why was it not just a group of police from Kedah ...and maybe Penang? Were the 'specialists' brought in to do this arrest...or maybe just do them all in? Serious questions that need answers. There must be comprehensive investigation done NOW - and it will be interesting to see where the police bullets landed. After killing 6 of them, it is very very wrong for the police to make allegations or implications that these were 'very bad people' - i.e. robbers, ' high on the police’s wanted list for the past two years', and “They were part of a group with links to the notorious ‘Gang 8’ that was actively involved in criminal activities in Kulim." The dead cannot defend themselves - and the Malaysian public should not blindly accept what the police says about these victims. Interestingly, it happened in Kedah... (the place where there will be a by-election soon) Interestingly, the 6 who were shot dead by police were all Indians - and Indians make up a significant percentage of voters.. Putting aside the by-elections, I wonder when we will see an end to these 'shoot to kill' incidents. Why were they killed? Was it accidental or was it intentional? Were the pistols really seized from the robbers, now dead, and who cannot even dispute the police version of events. Was the whole action of the police recorded?- Maybe that should become standard procedure. Then, we could always look at the recordings, and decide whether it was as the police said it happened. Whether the police used reasonable efforts to apprehend the 6 suspects alive?
