Three confess to killing Chinese businessman

Dec 31, 2025 News

(Kaieteur News) – Three suspects have been arrested as police continue their investigation into the robbery and murder of the owner of a Chinese supermarket at Cumberland Village East Canje, Berbice last week.

Sixty-one-year-old businessman Chen Yongping was killed during the incident, which occurred on Monday December 22, 2025 about 05:00hrs.

As part of the ongoing investigation, three males – a 17-year-old of Bun Bush Dam, Canje; a 29-year-old of Fort Ordinance Housing Scheme and a 29-year-old also of Fort Ordinance Housing Scheme were arrested on Monday December 29, 2025, cautioned and interviewed during which they made admissions. The three suspects remain in custody as investigations continue.

The initial police report had listed another colleague of the dead businessman injured after the two were attacked by knife-wielding assailants. Preliminary investigations revealed that the two victims had returned home after travelling earlier that morning when they were confronted by two identifiable males armed with knives, who allegedly robbed them of a quantity of Guyana currency and mobile phones.

During the incident, both victims sustained injuries and stab wounds and were escorted to the New Amsterdam Public Hospital for medical treatment where Yongping succumbed to his injuries while receiving care and the injured male was subsequently discharged.
