At least six members of the same family, including a child and a new born baby have been killed by Tatmadaw personal in Keyari parang, Maungdaw North.
The corpses of the family were discovered in the burning village on Friday night. One of the victims include a woman who had given birth to a baby on the same day. Her new born child has also been killed. Sources say the child was only two hours old.
One of the other corpses belonged to a boy child. All those killed are believed to be from the same family. Most of them were killed with sharp weapons and their bodies have been mutilated.
Keyari parang has been more or less deserted in the last few days in face of an ongoing military crackdown. Almost all villagers left after it was razed to the ground on Thursday. This family however stayed behind because the woman was expecting to give birth the next day and was too weak to move.
