| Two men have been arrested in relation to the abduction and murder of a 51-year-old Perth man in Zimbabwe. Phillip Laing was killed after armed robbers abducted seven people from the offices of a tea plantation in the Honde Valley. Mr Laing was tied to a tree and forced to drink acid. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Chris Gallus, says authorities in Zimbabwe have arrested two of the alleged robbers, and expect to apprehend the remaining pair soon. "I think it's a very good sign...it shows that the Zimbabwe Government is taking it very seriously indeed and we look forward to having them arrest the other two and to quickly bring this to justice," she said. Australians travelling or working in Zimbabwe are being urged to exercise a high degree of caution. |
