His wife saw a man who she said was about 5 feet tall running from the scene. The corporal was shot in the back of the head.

Ko Poe Lone served in Sittwe Township military security affairs before being transferred to Yangon military security affairs. It is not immediately clear how long ago he was transferred to Yangon or why he was in Sittwe.

Police have opened a murder case and are looking for suspects.
