Elderly Woman Found Murdered in Mingaladon Township with Head and Body Separated

November 13

In Mingaladon Township, Yangon, an elderly woman was killed by her own nephew, who was reportedly suffering from drug withdrawal. He placed her head in a box, left her body in the living room, and fled, according to reports.

Around 1 PM on November 12, residents of a five-story building housing an SSS stationery shop and an Express bus ticket office near the 5th Street junction on Thimphu Road in Mingaladon Township discovered the body of 77-year-old Daw Kyi Kyi Win, whose head and body had been severed from each other, according to reports.

"On the night of the 11th, we heard banging noises from that room. The nephew of the grandmother who was killed is a drug user; this kind of thing happened frequently. Only the two of them lived in that apartment. The grandmother loved him like her own child, so she also indulged him. The next day, the door was open and things were not normal as before, so people went in to check and found the body had been killed with the head and body separated," a resident of the building said.

The nephew, believed to have killed the 77-year-old woman, has not yet been arrested, according to reports, and the body has been sent to Yangon General Hospital for examinations.

Similarly, on November 10, a case occurred in which a 68-year-old man named U Tin Ngwe was found dead with stab wounds to his neck at a paddy field hut in Taung Kwinn, Ywar Thit Kalay Village, Kyaiktan Township, Thanlyin District, Yangon Region.
