By Francis Otucu

Jinja Road Police Division is conducting an inquiry into the killing of a Chinese national.

The deceased has been identified as Fan.

The police say the incident leading to his killing happened Friday morning at Mbuya Zone II.  

The police are yet to establish the motive the incident.

“We are trying to establish what exactly was stolen because in his bedroom, a lot of items were found disorganized as if the assailants were looking for something. We are yet to establish what was taken but investigations are underway. So far, there are allegations that one of the people on the run was seen by the complainant, Chunmu, earlier in the day. He (suspect) was with the deceased before the raid. We are trying to build on that to see that we identify these people and arrest them,” Deputy KMP Spokesman Luke Owoyesigyire told URN.

Explaining circumstances of the killing, Owoyesigyire sid, Fan’s attackers allegedly broke into the house, tied Fan with ropes, beat him while demanding that he reveals where he had put some items.

It is against the above background that Fan died.

Owoyesigyire said the police have already alerted the Chinese Embassy about Fan’s death while his body was taken to Mulago hospital for a postmortem.

Two years ago, a Chinese national, Yei Su, 50, was shot dead in Mukono town. Su was a cashier in one of the Chinese owned Nile Steel and Plastics Ltd. A joint security team launched a hunt for the suspects who had been captured on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.
