Many people, including the family of the man killed, had hid in the fields while trying to finish harvesting their rice. The victim and histwo sons Nang Zin Naw, age 21, and Nang In La San, age 15, had stayed together for two or three days in their rice field hut whileharvesting rice. That evening at 4pm they went to the rice field. The father went ahead as his two sons followed. He saw the BurmaArmy and ran, and the Burma Army shot him. The two sons heard the shots and returned to the village

We (Kachin FBR team) went to the location of the attack and took pictures and gave the family 300 Yuan (USD 47) to help withfuneral costs.
