Just allow me to finish the question.  Now I put it to you that if indeed you severely assault an innocent person which you take to be from a certain area, especially an area which is hostile, an enemy area, then there may be a reason to kill this person, so that he cannot tell the story that he was assaulted and that can be a reason why you killed him, so that he couldn't go back to where he came from and tell the people that as an innocent person, with his ID on him, he's been accused and assaulted and then there will be a retaliation.  Is that not more plausible?
