The Kachin Baptist Convention (KBC) issued a statement on February 28 denying that local villagers were involved in the rape and murder of two Kachin teachers in Shan State on January 19.
The KBC’s 15-member investigating team said it is willing to jointly probe the murder case with the Women Networks, local civic organisations as well as international organisation if needed.
“The team together with local authorities interrogated about 130 villagers living in Kaungkhar village over the incident. After the investigation, we found out that the villagers could not be involved in the rape and murder because of their love and respect for the two teachers,” said Dr Kha Lung Hsam Hsum, KBC’s general secretary.
He said the team has already received some vital clues and will continue with the investigation to find out the truth.
