A 71-year-old man who was killed during the 2010 political turmoil was shot by an unidentified attacker, the Criminal Court has ruled.

The Southern Bangkok Criminal Court ruled yesterday there was not enough evidence to establish who fired the shot that killed Boonmee Rermsuk on May 14, 2010.

Boonmee suffered a gunshot wound to his stomach while he was in front of a petrol station on Rama IV Road in the Klong Toey area.

Perhaps,Boonmee Rermsuk was shot by "friendly fire" from "armed men who were among the red shirt protesters."
When will the red-shirt leaders start telling the truth ?

As many of the weapons used by the so-called Men in Black were stolen or obtained from military sources in the first place it should come as no surprise that the calibre of the bullets was the same.

Very hard to determine, as both sides used the same ammo? So and admittion that the Red Guards where armed? Maybe someone has finally looked at Utube and seen the footage.

"However, some security officers were also found to be shot and wounded by .223 bullets.
"

Friendly fire perhaps could not be ruled out.
