Hong Kong coroner orders autopsies for hostage victims
Updated
Hong Kong's coroner has ordered autopsies for all eight victims of Monday's bus siege in Manila.
Coroner Michael Chan Pik-kiu said post-mortem examinations have been ordered, amid questions over whether the Hong Kong tourists were killed by the hostage-taker's bullets, or by Philippine police during the bungled rescue operation. The hostage-taker, a police officer who had been sacked, was killed in the raid. Philippine police are still trying to determine if their commandos fired any of the fatal bullets.
