[아시아경제 김소영 기자] It is said that it took more than an hour to recover the body on the road in the indiscriminate shooting of the Myanmar military police to the paramedics.
As such, some point out that the current situation in Myanmar is actually a’killing field’. The Killing Fields was a massive massacre of opposing forces after communizing Cambodia between 1975 and 1979.
According to local media on the 6th, a 19-year-old woman, Tet Tet Win, was shot dead by a military policeman sitting on the back of a motorcycle her husband drove in Mandalay, Myanmar’s second city on the night of the 4th.
The couple who returned home from work at 9 pm passed the curfew set by the military at 8 pm, and the soldiers ordered a stop to those passing through the intersection.
However, the husband drove the motorcycle as it was, and a gun shot by a military policeman passed through the husband’s abdomen and hit Tet Tet Win, who was sitting behind him.

The husband, who was shot, went to a nearby hospital, but his wife fell onto the road in the process. The paramedics said that it is still unclear whether the cause of Tet Win’s death was due to a gunshot wound or a severe head injury while falling off a motorcycle.
In this regard, the local media’Myanmar Now’ reported that the husband returned to the scene with paramedics, but it took more than an hour to recover the wife’s body. The reason for this seems to be that the military and police are shooting indiscriminately, such as shooting even at hospital officials who are retrieving corpses on a humanitarian level. It is known that the paramedics avoided the bullets and avoided the nearby bodies, and they had no choice but to recover the patient and the body, and the process took several hours, including more than an hour.
One paramedic told the media, “It was like a killing field. It couldn’t save her, and even getting her body was too dangerous. Military police don’t care that they are paramedics, they shoot at anyone.” I burst into anger.
Another local media, Irawadi, also said that when paramedics were dispatched to the scene, the military police were still there, so they had to hide in the dark until the body was taken care of.
