The British suspect has not been seen since his pal English teacher, Gary Ferguson, who is also British, was found dead
A BRITISH teacher whose colleague died after they spent the night drinking together is being hunted by authorities in Burma.
Gary Ferguson, 47, who is also British, was found dead in his colleague's apartment in Rangoon, police said.
His wife reportedly found him with head and chest wounds in the suspect's flat after he failed to return home on Sunday morning.
Police are now looking for Harris Binotti, 25, who has vanished since the pair had been drinking together in Myanmar over the weekend.
He is wanted on suspicion of carrying out the attack, according to an officer in Rangoon.
A police officer said: "At the time they were together drinking. They were talking and fighting."
Mr Ferguson and the suspect both taught English at the Horizon International School in Rangoon, also known as Yangon.
The victim had worked there for a year while the suspect had been there for around three months, according to a school spokesman.
The spokesman said: "We don't know exactly what happened. They were together and they had been drinking and enjoying the night and after that he was found dead on Sunday morning.
"They were friends but they had been drinking.
"We send our condolences to Mr Ferguson's family."
According to Binotti's Facebook page, it shows he had a number of different jobs before taking up a post as an English teacher in Rangoon.
These ranged from being a holiday rep, a ski rep and an assistant duty hotel manager.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are providing help and support to the family of a British national following a death in Rangoon, Burma, and are in touch with the local authorities."
