Bengali settlers kill an indigenous Chakma Buddhist in Maungdaw

On 29 March 2014, Muslim settlers (so called Rohingyas) murdered an indigenous Chakma Buddhist (also known as Thet in Burmese language) in Maungdaw township of Rakhine state in Myanmar.

U Tun Aung Sein, a middle aged Chakma villager was targeted by the Muslim settlers when he was working in his mountain garden on Saturday morning at Makyin Gon village under Maungdaw township.

"Aung Sein’s throat was stabbed first by the attackers and then chopped it with sharp weapon. His body was identified by his two daughters lying in the garden," said U Hla Moe, a village tract administrator.

Aung Sein (49) used to go to the garden every morning for watering the plants and feeding cows with other regular works. Usually he returned to home by noon. On the fateful day, Aung Sein took more time to return and hence his daughters went there looking for him. They found their fathers’ dead body in the garden with severe injuries.

The police team recovered a white Muslim skull cap and also a Bangladesh made cigarette from the spot. Meanwhile, the Burma border security forces have blocked many mountain roads in the locality and started massive operations to catch the culprits at the earliest.
