10 December 2024
The Myanmar Police Force announced today, December 10, that seven PDFs killed the owner of a Mary Myint petrol station and her maid in Melaungphar (North) Village, Nyaung U Township, Mandalay Region, and robbed them of approximately 700 million kyats on December 8.
The incident occurred at 9:45 a.m. on December 8, 2024, at the “Mary Myint” petrol station on the Bagan-Chauk road in Nyaung U Township, Mandalay Region. The patrol shop owner, U Maung Lat (65), was with his wife, Daw Yee Myint (61), and his maid, Daw Chaw Su (45), when seven PDFs (under investigation) arrived and tied U Maung Lat behind the shop. After shooting and killing Daw Yee Myint and Daw Chaw Su, they robbed the shop of about 700 million kyats in a bag. Daw Yee Myint and Daw Chaw Su died from gunshot wounds as a result of the shooting.
The PDFs, which are based in Bagan, Nyaung U, Kyauk Pandaung, and Myingyan, have neither denied nor admitted to the murder and robbery.
Among the most famous PDF robberies, a robbery occurred in Myingyan, just over 30 miles from the incident site, in 2023. In that incident, the Myingyan District Battalion (5) MG 6 guerrillas under the NUG robbed the Ni Ni Lwin Gold Shop north of the Municipal Market, Ward No. (7) of Myingyan on June 8, 2023, and shot and killed the owner, U Zaw Naing Tun. Similarly, the Nawarat Gold Shop in Monywa was robbed of over 15,000,000 kyats worth of gold jewellery by 9 PDFs under the NUG on September 26. The Monywa Police have not returned the gold jewellery for more than a month, and no follow-up events related to the investigation of the 7 PDFs have been released.
