“U Chit Ko operates a motorcycle repair shop. He has no connection with any group. He’s a peaceful man. We don’t know why he was killed,” said a War Dat Kwin villager.
The pro-military Telegram Channel reported that the Kyikehto Revolutionary Forces (KRF) recklessly shot and killed U Chit Ko.
“It isn’t our fault. We don’t even know who U Chit Ko is. The channel has intentionally spread misinformation to defame the revolutionary forces,” said an official from the KRF.
