Police believe that they have finally caught one of the men who were involved in the hacking to death of Chinese restaurant owner Zhenjz Su in his Mandela Avenue business place.
The man in custody is believed to have provided some of his accomplices with the weapon with which Su was slain. Police sources had said that a cutlass was left at the scene, as well as a piece of wood that may have been used to club his wife, Fei Su.
It is unclear whether investigators had received any response to a $2M reward that some businessmen had posted.
The mutilated and bound body of the 35-year-old businessman was found in the kitchen of Jade Stone Restaurant.
There are reports that the intruders killed Su after he refused to open a money-safe for them. However, they made off with the day’s sales.
The intruders also inflicted a savage beating on the businessman’s wife, 32-year-old Fei Su, who was attacked in her bedroom.
