Chair of Village Head Selection Committee Shot Dead in Kyaukme

The chair of a selection committee for village headmen was shot dead on June 6 in northern Shan State’s Kyaukme Township.

Fifty-year-old Kaw Shwe Win was killed in Marn San village in Mong Tang village tract by an unidentified armed group while working on his farm.

“He had six gunshot wounds on his body,” a police officer from Kyaukme Myoma police station told SHAN, adding that the murder case is still open.

The officer said that Kaw Shwe Win was shot twice in the head, twice in the back, once in the abdomen and once in the face.

He was last seen by his wife, Nang Kham Aye, when they had lunch together at home that day before he was murdered.
