A sixty years old active nationalist man was assassinated by gun by the PDF terrorist in Yangon’s North Dagon Township yesterday (May 26). He was shot at the head. 

The victim was identified Tint Lwin who actively participated in nationalist movements in the years ruled by National League for Democracy government. 

The terror incident happened on May 26 at an estimated 11 am in North Dagon Township while the victim was eating fried rice at a tea house located in 48th Ward. A terrorist shot him at the head from his back at least three shots, according to a source close to the victim. 

The 60 years old victim, Tint Lwin, was once attempted assassination on 1st July, 2022 in Yangon’s North Okkalapa Township where his home is located. At that time, he was wounded in arms and other body parts; and survived. Then, he was hiding living in Naypyidaw, according to the abovementioned source.

Now, he reportedly returned Yangon for a temporary purpose to see his wife since she is suffered from cancer. It is assumed that he was scouted by the PDF partners and assassinated. 

“He was assassinated once last year. At that time, he was wounded in the arm and other parts of the body. He survived at that time. He received medical treatment and hided in Naypyidaw to avoid another assassination. There are informers surrounding of his home in North Okkalapa. We heard that he was hunted by those PDF partners and killed by the PDF in North Dagon,” one who is close to the victim Tint Lwin said. 

Tint Lwin died on the spot by at least three gunshots in the head.
