On the night of March 21, at approximately 8:00 PM, Zin Ko Oo (alias Kyaw Gyi)—a former resistance fighter who defected, stole funds and a firearm, and later joined the junta-backed Pyu Saw Htee militia—was found dead from gunshot wounds in the compound of Mingalar Uyana Monastery in Kalay, Sagaing Region.
