It is reported that two brothers were eating a meal in Kan Nar Middle Village, Hlaing Tharyar (West) Township, Insein District, Yangon Region, when a machete attack occurred, resulting in the death of the older brother.

It is reported that at around 7 PM on October 22, at house M-192 on Saga Wa (4) Street in Kan Nar Middle Village, two brothers were eating a meal when a cat kept at the house jumped onto the dining table, causing the curry dishes to overturn, after which the two brothers argued.
