MAGWAY DIVISION – Moe Kyaw, the junta administrator of Kyee Mee Village, Kan Ma Township, Thayet District, was shot dead, according to Thayet District No. 4 Battalion official, Ko Myat.
On Wednesday (July 10), at around 10 p.m., comrades tried to detain him, but Moe Kyaw, a Pyu Saw Htee leader, defended himself with a handmade gun. Consequently, the comrades shot him dead on the spot.
He was fully armed by the junta forces. “Since the coup, he has been working as a junta informer. When we raided his house, he started shooting, but our side did not suffer any casualties. His body was carried to Kanma by the junta forces. He also forced civilians to join the junta troops and tried to extort 30,000 MMK per house. The village has around 300 houses, and he also established gambling places and extorted civilians’ farms in collaboration with the junta council,” said Ko Myat.
After his death, the comrades confiscated a handmade short gun, one bullet, one knife, and three mobile phones that were set up by the junta council.
Thayet District Battalion – 4 and the Students Armed Forces jointly carried out the operation, and the comrades successfully disengaged.
