Eight months after the Matupi battle, where junta troops fled their base, the remains of at least 15 individuals, including junta soldiers, their family members, two children, and one woman, have been discovered, according to Ko Lawrence from the Min Tat Township IDP Camp Management Committee.
“I personally saw around 15 sets of remains. But according to locals, the number could be as high as 120. Some remains were lost due to wildfires, while others were found in streams and bodies of water. Some were discovered near the abandoned base," he said.
Among the findings were junta uniforms, bulletproof vests, rank insignias with stars, financial records from U Paing Company regarding junta salaries, and personal belongings.
"Without food and drinking water, they fled for over a month through harsh weather. Some died of dysentery. Among the remains, we found two children's bodies and one confirmed female corpse," said Ko Lawrence.
Due to the remoteness of the site, cremation or burial efforts have been challenging. The search for more remains requires teams of 20 to 30 people working for two to three days in the jungle. "Regardless of whether they were enemies or not, we want to properly cremate or bury them with dignity," he added.
