A 50-year-old man was found dead with stab wounds in a flat on the lower block of 27th Street in Pabedan Township, Yangon, on the morning of December 12, according to nearby sources.

“The person who regularly sent a lunchbox to that flat found the man dead with stab wounds in the morning. So, he informed the neighbours about the case. The dead man was over 50 years old,” said a resident living nearby.

The man had been living alone in his flat for many years, neighbours said.

Some gold, jewelries and cash were reportedly missing. But it could not be verified and authorities are still investigating the case. 

27th Street, where the murder case happened, is a busy place with many shops and people.
