『Three Suspects Arrested for Murder of Chinese Man in Angola 2024.2.23』
Three men were arrested on Friday for the murder of a Chinese national in a brazen daylight robbery two days earlier in the capital of Luanda.
The brutal act was captured on surveillance footage and serves as a grim reminder of the dangers that Chinese people living in Africa can sometimes be confronted with. Chinese communities on the continent are not powerless in the face of this challenge, however, as many have formed their own security organizations and networks.
Just before 8 am last Wednesday, a Chinese man who worked as the head of security at a warehouse in a Chinatown in the suburb of Viana, about 30 km east of the center of Luanda, arrived for work. Surveillance footage showed that shortly after he arrived, the man was set upon by three assailants, who held him down and strangled him to death. They then broke open the safe and made off in a taxi with the cash that was inside.
Two of the assailants are reportedly Angolans employed at the warehouse and the third is a foreigner.
At around 1 pm, a call was put through to the Viana branch of the Angolan Chinese Security Association, some of whose members rushed to the scene along with staff from the Chinese Embassy to assist the Angolan police investigating the crime.
Within 48 hours, all three suspects were captured by Angolan police, who were able to locate them by tracing the taxi they used to flee the scene.
