MANDALAY DIVISION – Locals reported that the terrorist junta council murdered three civilians including a person who was burned to death in Seiktha Village of Madaya Township.
On February 12 around 8 a.m., junta forces raided Seiktha and Inkone Villages in Madaya Township. They then abducted two residents of Inkone Village, poured petrol on them and placed them in a house in Seiktha Village, aiming to kill them by burning them alive, reported the officer of Madaya Myomahn Team.
One civilian reportedly managed to escape while junta forces were preparing to set them on fire.
The other civilian didn’t manage to escape and was burned to death. He has been identified as 35 year old Mr. Hnin. In addition, locals reported that two more villagers were found murdered when they re-entered the village after the junta column had departed.
