The victims were 39, 30, 25 and 23, according to residents.

An eyewitness said: “When Ko Tun Oo didn’t answer their questions, they shot him in his foot. Then they shot him in his temple. Another was shot in his eye.

“The one who tried to escape was shot from behind in the chest. Another had his hands tied and was shot. He was told to put his hands on his head before he was shot. His body was left overnight and his arms could not be moved back,” added the witness.

Junta troops also reportedly abducted four civilians. The Monywa PDF said its fighters cannot repel junta raids on villages because it lacks proper weapons.
