YANGON - A Myanmar publisher whose magazine has criticised the military, political and business establishment was found stabbed to death in his office at the weekend, police said on Tuesday. Wai Yan Heinn, 27, was stabbed 15 times with a knife in his chest and abdomen, police captain Yin Htwe said. Wai Yan Heinn published a weekly news magazine called The Iron Rose Weekly News which, according to front-page images available online, has run stories criticising Myanmar's former ruling generals and businessmen connected to them. Police said the victim's body was discovered lying in a chair in his Yangon office on Sunday after neighbours reported a rotten odour. She said the family was heartbroken because Wai Yan Heinn was their only son.
