On June 6, Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV), which is controlled by the Burmese military government, confirmed the incident, claiming that the autopsy results showed that the metal piece found in Deng’s brain was different from the bullet head used by the military police.
The report also said that the police were in front of Deng Jiaxi at the Time of the incident and that she was shot in the back of the head, so it is unlikely that she was shot by the police, but that anti-government elements killed her to create confusion.
