Police suspect the businessmen were robbed.

Investigations are continuing.

It’s the second attack against Chinese business operators this year after a couple, who operate a supermarket at Vailoa Faleata, were attacked and robbed by two escaped prisoners in February.

The prisoners stole about $US27,000.

One of the inmates has been captured but the other one, Pati Chong Nee, is still on the run.
