RAPE AND KILLING IN TA-KHI-LAEK

 On 21.9.99, SPDC troops from LIB316 raped a woman and killed her
husband near Nam Kai village, Pa Leo tract, Ta-Khi-Laek township.

 On that day, 3 Privates, Maung Bo and 2 other soldiers, from the
Company 2 of
LIB316 that was stationed at Nam Mae Kong river crossing ferry at Kaeng
Laap
village, who were strolling around saw a woman who was digging bamboo
shoots on the bank of Nam Kai stream. The woman was with her husband who
was also
digging bamboo shoots somewhere nearby, out of sight of the troops.

 Maung Bo and the 2 soldiers approached the woman and seized her. But
the
woman called out to her husband for help, causing him to run towards
her. As soon as he saw the husband coming, Maung Bo aimed his rifle and
shot him down, killing him instantly. After that, all of them raped the
woman to their satisfaction and left. 

 When the parents and relatives of the couple, together with some
village leaders, went to complain to the Commander of the Company 2,
Capt Aung Naing, they were consoled by him that if the incident was true
he would take action against the culprits immediately and put them in
jail. But nothing had been heard about anyone being punished at the time
of this report.

 The couple, Zaai Wan, aged 26 and Naang (En), aged 21, were  from Nam
Kai
village, Kaeng Laap tract, Ta-Khi-Laek township.
