#1 Definitely done by amateurs, although given the shame/revenge mentality these people display, killing the boy to cut off the possiblity of revenge was probably considered, in the attacker's minds, as a feature, not a bug.

Still, this sort of thing shouldn't be tolerated in a nation we're trying to get to follow laws, not the passions of men.
