Mozambique makes arrests related to fatal motorbike accidents

Ten alleged motorcycle taxi driver assassins have been detained in Tete, a city in western Mozambique that is rich in coal and energy.

The defendants, who were identified to the media by the Mozambican police, are charged with robbing people and killing motorbike taxi drivers in Tete areas.

Feliciano da Câmara, the Tete police spokeswoman, claimed that some of his officers killed a member of the major opposition movement in the country—the former rebel Renamo movement—last week and took his motorbike.

The police official claimed that they also stole a significant amount of money from their victims.

Some of those being held refute any involvement in the crimes.
