遇袭台湾船只发现52个弹孔

Taiwan prosecutors say a total of 52 bullet holes were found on the fishing boat Kuang Ta Hsing No. 28 that was fired upon by the Philippine Coast Guard. The shooting occurred at around 10 am Thursday at sea, some 164 nautical miles southeast of Erluanbi, the southernmost tip of the island of Taiwan.

Crew member Hung Shih-cheng was killed in the incident and his body was taken back to Taiwan early Saturday morning. The Philippine Coast Guard has admitted to killing the fisherman.

According to Taiwan local media, the shots may have been fired from "heavy weapons", because investigators found 10 holes on the port side, where the bullets penetrated thick parts of the boat. Prosecutors said Hung was killed by a bullet that entered the right side of his neck. Ballistics analysis will be carried out on the bullets that were found on the boat.
