Police in Bago Region arrested a 21-year-old old man from Shwe Tan Village for the rape of a 78-year-old woman from the same village on November 11.
An officer from the Bayargyi police station said Win Ko (aka Phoe Pain) raped the woman while she was alone at home at 10am that day.
The officer told 7Day Daily: “She was left alone in her house. Her neighbors heard her voice and realized she was being raped, so they detained him and sent him to the police station. We are now investigating the case.”
Police also told 7Day Daily that the man had drunk alcohol that day and that he was jobless, though the report did not say how or whether that was relevant to this case.
