Chinese Murdered At Mining Site

The Chinese Community in Ghana is appealing to the police at Dunkwaw-on Offin to trace and bring to book killers of a Chinese national in a robbery attack.

Twenty-nine-year old Zhan Jin Hu was shot and killed at a mining site at Nyinawusu on August 6, 2016 by four armed men in masks.

He was working with other colleagues on a faulty excavator when the incident occurred.

Some residents of Nyinawusu lynched a member of the gang, who went to the mining site with an accomplice to rob a day after Mr. Zhan was killed.

The Guangxi Chamber of Commerce and the Guangxi Association of Ghana have visited Dunkwaw and Nyinawusu to mourn with the bereaved family.

They expressed appreciation to police and residents for their support after the late Zhan Jin’s body was released for burial.

Spokesperson of the Chinese delegation, Monica Wien, appealed to the police to track down and bring the perpetrators to book.

She told Nhyira FM the community is satisfied with the handling of the incident by the police.

“First of all, we want to express our condolence to the bereaved family. Secondly, we want to show our appreciation for the support from the local family, government and the police station; the town people they’ve been supporting us.”

Police in Dunkwaw-on-Offin have vowed to get to the bottom of the matter.

District Commander, Superintendent Dela Dzanzi, says his outfit has begun a search for the two suspects who are on the run.

“So far investigations are ongoing to uncover the truth. Two of the suspects are now on the run and the police are doing everything possible to arrest these two suspects to help in our investigations,” Mr. Dzanzi said.
