Maybe I’m just face-blind or being dense but the photos from the scene of the crime look like a different dude than the ginning hostel check in guy. The jackets and backpacks are different. Although people can have multiple jackets and backpacks. We don’t see much of the shooters face but the eyebrows look different. Although, people can pluck/shave eyebrows. I guess the happy hostel guy would have come forward and been like “WTF?” and “I have an alibi” if it wasn’t him?
If it was a hired hit, it would be pretty clever to put those words on the casings to make it look like a political statement.
It would end up so lame if it was just the ceo’s wife that hired a hit man and the casings were only a red herring.
