AYEYARWADDY TIMES (Letpadan), October 17 It is reported that the abbot of the Lemyar Buddhist monastery in Phokhaungchu village, Letpadan Township, Thayarwady District, Bago Region (West), where the military under the interim government and Pyu Saw Htee are stationed, passed away on the morning of October 14. It was reported that the abbot, U Sumana, was speaking well with locals and explaining the accounts of Kathin donations during breakfast time, and after the locals returned home, the military informed the locals that he had committed suicide and passed away. "That morning, he spoke with donors for Kathin, and after the donors left, this happened. After the donors left, they were there. Why would the monk do this? It can only be assumed that they (the military) conspired and did it. There is absolutely no innocence," a person who knew about the incident told the Ayeyarwaddy Times. It has been a long time since the military has been stationed at the monastery, and it is suspected that the military may be involved in the death of the abbot while they are present. Currently, although there is no tension between the military under the interim government and the revolutionary forces in Thayarwady District, there are military patrols and reinforcements, according to revolutionary forces.
