The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced Wednesday that police have arrested Huang Ligang and Cheng Liang who are suspected to have robbed and killed three members of a Taiwanese family in Shanghai.
The two suspects were arrested by police officers from Shanghai in Suining, Jiangsu Province, Wednesday morning, said spokesman Li Weiyi.
Li expressed deep sorrow for the deaths of the Taiwanese family and gave his condolences to the victims' relatives.
He said a Taiwanese businessman, his wife and the couple's daughter were killed in their residence in Minhang District, Shanghai, Monday morning.
Local police found a cell phone at the site and soon traced the two suspects, Huang, a 22-year old native of Sheyang, Jiangsu, and Cheng, a native of Suining, Jiangsu.
At 1:10, Wednesday, police caught Huang at a local cyber cafe in Suining and shortly afterwards, captured Cheng at the pair's temporary residence nearby.
Police recovered a car, money, a watch, a laptop and a cell phone.
