NAYPYITAW, 29 August 2021, (TON): According to a neighbourhood resident and a passerby “Junta troops shot and killed a man on 121st St in Yangon’s Mingalar Taung Nyunt Township.”
The two sources said “the soldiers first arrived on the next street 122nd at around 8pm after a man who appeared to be drunk began shouting obscenities in public.”
A woman who lives in the area said “the soldiers chased and opened fire at him, causing other people on the street to flee.”
At 11pm, a neighbourhood 42-year-old bread vendor was found dead from an apparent bullet wound to the neck.
The victim was identified as Thein Min Oo and his body was found between two apartment buildings on 121st St, one block over from his home. The local woman told media that the discovery came after his family members informed their ward administrator that they had been unable to locate him following the incident earlier in the evening, in which he was not involved.
