Chinese nationals arrested in PNG for attempted murder

Anto Wany was nearly murdered by Chinese
nationals working and living in PNG. 

Three Chinese nationals who work and live in Papua New Guinea have been arrested and charged with attempted murder. Three other PNG nationals were also arrested. Port Moresby Police said, the six have been locked up at Boroko Police station. This follows after  the Chinese including their  PNG security minders attacked a security guard in PNG's capital Port Moresby Northeast last month.

A lone security guard Anton Wany Kaimbu, from Enga Province, was allegedly attacked by the three Chinese and their three guards at Nine-Mile bus stop. He was attacked when he went to the Chinese shop to buy some goods for his family. It was reported that the guard tried to use eftpos machine in the shop to check his bank account balance before purchasing the goods in the shop. However, the Chinese agreed but he was told to pay K1 for checking the balance. An argument broke out and the Chinese attacked him.

The arrest of the Chinese and others happened after the security guard reported the incident to the Police. It is understood that Bank South Pacific has withdrawn the eftpos machine from the chinese shop as merchants are not allowed to charge fees for checking balance.
