    D1 You don´t need a freaking autopsy to identify a stab-wound in the heart.

    "he was allegedly assaulted by some prison guards, suffering serious injuries" This was obviously the perfect way to get the others to surrender.

    "The warder's family would receive help from the department, he added." Good.


    This "help" should be equal to or better than the hefty riot bonuses red thugs received for their work place injuries that occurred while performing their paid duties as agitators.

    Now the story came out that one of the inmate injured, he is former police officer, he walked away from the scence , he was allegedly assaulted by the prison guard. He is only one that survived and now he has a chance to point the finger at the guard who assaultd him.The guard die of several stabed wounds. The autopsy must have done very fast they have the report this quick. Smell fishy and doesn't sound kosher at all.
