BAGO DIVISION – Nattalin Township People’s Defence Force (PDF) announced that they eliminated a junta appointed administration officer from Nattalin Township in western Bago Division.
Win Thein, the 55 years old junta administration officer for Kyaukkhwat Village Tract in Nattalin Township was shot dead at his residence of Kyaukswel Village on March 15 around midnight.
“When our comrades entered his compound, he came out thinking it was the junta forces visiting him. We shot him then and he died on the spot,” said Bo. Moegyo, a company officer of Phoenix DF.
He added that as the attack took place at midnight, it was unclear where he was shot and informed that the defence force soldiers who carried out the mission are now at a safe place.
