Kenyan police handed over four Chinese nationals suspected of killing another Chinese national to the Ethiopian Federal Police National Interpol team.
According to Ethiopian police, the four suspects fled to Kenya following the alleged murder of the victim, Fu Hui, in a Chinese restaurant in Addis Abeba.
The four suspects, Huang Zhipeng, Liv Jie, Wang Ming, and Chao Fu Xiuzaong, were apprehended following a joint operation between their authorities and Nairobi, according to Ethiopian Federal Police National Interpol Director Tsegaye Haile.
This came after the Ethiopian Federal Police issued a “red notice” to Interpol 24 hours after the suspects fled Addis Ababa.
Authorities in Kenya and Ethiopia have been partnering closely to combat crime, as well as launching joint operations to combat terrorism, which has been a source of concern in East Africa’s development.
Ethiopian Commissioner General Demelash Gebremichael met with Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai in February 2022, and the two agreed to work together to combat crime.
Chinese nationals in Africa have made headlines for breaking the law and being accused of racism and discrimination.
