Cops Have Suspects For Barber’s Execution
posted (May 29, 2020)
It could be a busy week of detentions for the cops who in addition to nabbing drug runners have detained a man for questioning in the murderer of Chinese businessman 38-year-old Xinwu Zhu.

Last night, we walked you through the frightening footage of Zhu's cold-blooded murder. And tonight while police are following several leads, Assistant Commissioner of Police Joesph Myvette say that while Zhu was clearly the target, a motive has yet to be determined for his murder.

ACP Joseph Myvett, Head, National Crimes Investigation Branch
"Mr. Zhu was sitting outside on his step when a slim clear complexioned male person approached the shop window, turned towards him and fired several shots which caught him. He was hospitalized for a couple hours before he succumbed to those injures. Upon the police visiting the scene, a bicycle was found along with a pair of slippers. The police have interviewed several persons; we have at this point in time one person in our custody who we are questioning in relation to this. Based on certain information given to us, we will continue down this line of investigation at this point in time. We have also not been able to establish any motive as the commissioner has clearly said; certainly robbery was not one of those motives."
