Young man hangs himself to death in Sittwe

Young man hangs himself to death in Sittwe; total suicide deaths reach to six in five months

A man in his 20s hanged himself to death in Sittwe on Friday making the number of deaths by hanging in the past five months to six in Rakhine State’s capital.

The deceased man who lived in Sittwe’s Ywagyi Myauk Ward was the 24- year old Ko Maung Win Hlaing. He was found dead at 8:30pm on 7 October.

Ywagyi Myauk Ward Administrator, U San Thein, told Narinjara that the wife found him dead hanging at their house.

“We have no idea when he died hanging. As only the two live in the house, his wife knew only when she arrived back. The wife was going to her mother’s house in the same ward,” he said.

The ward administrator said the man had been talking about hanging himself as the livelihood and business was not good.

“They are leading a hard life. They had to live renting someone else’ house. Husband had no job and tried to hang himself. He was showing the rope. This time he did it practically, said the ward administrator.

The other five people who hanged themselves to death in Sittwe in the past five months are Daw Ohnmar Khin from Mingan Wunhtan Block (3), the 30-year old U Kyaw Myat from Setyon Su Ward, 58-year old U Tun Tha Sein , 21- year old U Tun Aye Kyaw and 18-year old Ma Yu Yu Hlaing of Kanpyin village in Sittwe Township.

The six deaths occurred in five months from May to 7 October, according to figures from Myitta Yaungchi Foundation based in Sittwe.

He said the family were "acutely aware" there were "extremists of all sides who are keen to hijack this incident for their own ends".

The family of a man who was kicked in the head by police at Manchester Airport has appealed for "calm in all the communities", an MP has said. Paul Waugh, Rochdale MP, said the "traumatised" family wanted to make it clear they had "no political agenda whatsoever" and did not condone political violence. Anger over the video led to protests outside Rochdale police station on Wednesday and Thursday nights, with another protest also held in Manchester city centre on Thursday. Mr Waugh said the family would not be attending any protests or giving any media interviews as they wanted their privacy protected. "The strong message they wanted to give is that they have no political agenda whatsoever," he told BBC Breakfast. "They wanted me to issue an appeal for calm among all sorts of different communities in Rochdale. "We've had a history of unfortunate division in our town and we do not want to go back to those days." He said the famil...
