Chinese Nationals Charged With Zambia Murder

Police in northern Zambia have charged two Chinese nationals with murder for allegedly beating a Zambian man to death after accusing him of theft.

The two Chinese men are alleged to have punched, kicked and used planks to beat up Evaristo Chileshe to death on Sunday, Richard Mweene, the Northern Province Police Commissioner, said.

The police boss told BBC that investigations are still ongoing and the suspects are expected to be taken to court before the end of the week.

The Chinese community in Zambia is growing and its relationship with Zambian nationals has often been fractious.

China has invested heavily in Zambian copper mining and other sectors.
