Man shot 34 times in head with nail gun

SYDNEY: Australian police appealed to the public on Friday for help in solving the gruesome killing of a Chinese man who was shot 34 times in the head and neck with a nail gun before being dumped in a river.

Chen Liu's badly decomposed body was found in Sydney on Nov 1, about two weeks after a friend reported him missing, but police have yet to say whether they've identified any suspects.

New South Wales state police on Friday asked the public to provide any information they may have about the case, releasing graphic X-ray images of the 27-year-old's skull to highlight the brutality of the crime.
