Mbabane – After almost two months of silence, Qing Ming He – the prime suspect in the alleged kidnapping of Matsapha businessman Almor oliveira – has opened up on what could have happened to the missing property tycoon, where he could be and who could be behind his disappearance.

In an almost one-and-a half hour (11am to 12:30pm) questioning by a group of about 10 detectives at the Sidwashini prison on Thursday, Ming He, in the presence of his lawyers Advocate Mduduzi Mabila and Linda Dlamini, gave the police the names of three Chinese nationals he believed were behind Oliveira’s kidnapping.

Thursday’s questioning was agreed to on Tuesday at the police headquarters during a meeting between Advocate Mabila, Ming He’s brother, a Chinese interpreter, Senior Assistant Commissioner Sam Mthembu, leading detective Superintendent Clement Sihlongonyane, Director of Public Prosecutions Nkosinathi Maseko and Senior Crown Counsel Macebo Nxumalo.

The Times SUNDAY understands that Ming He, who is also a Chinese national, was with the three suspects at Happy Valley Hotel and Resort the night before Oliveira was kidnapped.
A well-informed source who was part of the team present when Ming He was questioned on Thursday revealed to this publication that the three suspects gambled and drank alcohol on the night prior to the kidnapping.
“Ming has asked the police to go to Happy Valley and look for video footage of April 15. He said he can point out the suspects from the video footage.

“He knows one of them who has been in and out of Swaziland since December (last year). He said he left the trio at the hotel after he got drunk and left his car behind,” related the source.
According to the source, ‘the million dollar question is why don’t the police get the video from Happy Valley so they could be able to circulate it on Interpol and on television both in Swaziland and in South Africa’?
It has been established that during the questioning, the police got to know and now believe that Ming He was not the one behind the kidnapping but had all the information on what really happened to the missing Oliveira.
It is said that Ming He told the police he believed the motive behind the kidnapping was that the suspects wanted money and that Oliveira was probably alive and being held in neighbouring Mozambique.

On May 5, 2017, National Commissioner of Police Isaac Magagula revealed that a E5 million ransom had been demanded for Oliveira’s release by his captors.
At the time, Magagula also said they believed Oliveira was still alive and they were investigating his whereabouts through the use of all available platforms.
