Zaw Tun from Laicha-based IB 64 behind the central market. Questioning led to a quarrel in which WO II Kyaw Thein struck Pvt. Zaw Tun and in the ensuing gunfight, two privates were killed instantly, it is learnt. One of the casualties was from WO II Kyaw Thein's squad and another was Pvt. Zaw Tun. Both of them died from gunshots. Though WO II Kyaw Thein was not wounded, he fled from the scene with an MA rifle he bore, it is learnt.
