HURFOM: Two male villagers who were traveling in a small boat on the Tenasserim river were shot by junta forces, on June 3 at about 3pm. One man died.
The two victims were going from Nyaung Pin Gone village to the old Kanto village. Ko Aung Kyaw, thought to be approximately 30 years old, was hit by the shot and fell into the water.
“They were going in a small boat. I heard that there were only two people on the boat. There was no fighting at that time. The junta military killed them for no reason,” said a local.
The victim’s body emerged in the river near Sin Din village and was buried in Pyin Won village, according to villagers.
The troops responsible for the shooting and murder were patrolling the villages of Ma Ma Taung, Ban La Moot, and Hton Ma Khar.
