Thirteen-year-old Maung Thar Pu, son of a raft owner
from Kin Pon village was killed and later his body was concealed by
Ko Zayar Oo, who came to work on the family’s raft.

body and ran away.
"The parents gave the boy Kyats 50,000 to buy
clothes and utensils from Sat Twar village. They went on a motorcycle but
did not return. Next morning his body was recovered,” said a social
worker.
The body was discovered on the bank of a creek near Kan Thar Thar village at
