Three men were arrested on July 19 for robbing and killing a 74-year-old layperson, U Hla Win from Lay Kyun Mandaing Monastery, near a forest area in Koe Ywa Thapyay Kone Village of Nay Pyi Taw Ottarathiri Township.

The suspects Naing Min Tun @ Bo Bo, Zwe Khant Naing @ Zwe Khant, and San Min Nyein @ Pauk Tu confessed to planning the crime due to financial problems. They waited for the victim near his firewood shelter on July 16, attacked him with wooden sticks, and stole his phone and 72,000 kyats.

Police seized the weapons and stolen phone as evidence. A case has been opened under Penal Code Section 302, and legal action is ongoing. Authorities continue working to maintain safety and law enforcement in the area.
