Take their DNA and keep a close look at their families and friends but I am sure that most of them would be Afghan nationals. For lord's sake, send all Afghans back to their country and wire the whole border with them.

Since the suspect were killed accidentally the file is closed. No information about investigation as surely the police have found the owner of the motorcycle from number plate.

Case must not be closed. Rather investigation must be completed to identify what their target was; so that no replacements are sent.

Complete identities and bios of all three (names, photographs, addresses, schools/madrassahs, mosques, etc.) must be disclosed to the public. If the police is not willing to do this, then how can the police expect the public to provide them information the could lead to their arrest?
