There's a lot more than just "protecting minors"
involved. Cullen repeatedly said that no minors had
been sexually assaulted by Hamilton - so why would
they need this kind of "protection"? Why can't they
just be identified as "child A", "child B"?
I understand Hamilton's firearms certificate file is
not available to the public, or the pathologists'
report.
Does anyone know where Hamilton's idea of alternating
FMJ and hollowpoint ammo comes from? Is this commonly
taught in the US gun-training schools? Is this taught
in UK police gun-training?

I don't think it has anything to do with that, would
you want to be associated with a mass murderer? I do
tend to agree they could just black out the names but
presumably the circumstances related in the report would
indicate who the children were. I was told specifically
at the time, during the public inquiry as I recall, even
before Cullen did it that the report would not be made public
because of concerns about the children in Hughes' report.
A lot of people asked about it including a lot of people
from the media when the quotes from Det. Sgt. Hughes report
were circulated and that's what we were told.
Hamilton didn't only use FMJ and JHP, he also used
semi-wadcutters as I recall. I have no idea why as
it would be an invitation to the gun to jam (especially
a stock Hi-Power). Perhaps he thought mixing the
ammunition would produce at least some casualties
given all the conflicting information in gun magazines.
Who knows.
