A 30-year-old busi­ness man from Ari­ma has be­come the na­tion's lat­est mur­der.

Ac­cord­ing to the po­lice, last night around 10pm Chong Cao, from #82 Tumpuna Road, La Hor­quet­ta was walk­ing out of his restau­rant Zhong Guo, lo­cat­ed at the same ad­dress, when a gun­man ap­proached him and fired sev­er­al shots.

Three of the shots hit Cao in his face. He col­lapsed at the scene. Cao was rushed to the Ari­ma Health Fa­cil­i­ty where he was pro­nounced dead on ar­rival.

CCTV cam­eras cap­tured the gun­man en­ter­ing and leav­ing the premis­es.

Cao's death brings the mur­der toll to 22.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue.
