Bullets used in the recent Rangoon murder case which killed five are the product of the Defense Industry, according to sources close to government.
"They erased the serial numbers but they are with certainty DI (Defense Industry) products," said one source.

On March 3, four family members and a housemaid at a residence under tight security, near to the home of Burma's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, were shot dead in broad daylight.

Burma under military rule strictly controls the possession of firearms by ordinary civilians and there is rarely an incident involving civilian use of a gun.

Businessman Charlie (Saw Kyipha), aged 60, and his wife San San Myint, 58, along with their two daughters, Mya Sanda, 36, and Hnin Pwint Aye, 27, and their housemaid Alphaw, 15, were all shot in the head inside the residence at No.126 Seinlaekanthar Street, Kamaryut Township.

The culprit, or culprits, is still at large and a police source says cash totaling at least $90,000 was missing from the victim's home.

Mizzima has learnt that Charlie sold a villa on Thanlwin Street of Bahan Township for approximately $1.3 million just a couple days before the murders took place, for which he had reportedly received an initial installment of $365,000.

The incident apparently came as a shock to the military government, as the police chief visited the crime scene the following day.
