Samoa police are investigating a murder in Vietnam after two Samoan men appear on Vietnamese television making confessions. The men, identified as Joseph Vaa and Steve Tofa, say they were involved in the shooting of Lorenzo Lemalu Tovia, described as the ringleader of the “Coconut Cartel,” in Ho Chi Minh City. The case relates to the alleged killing of a man connected to a Sydney gang. According to the reports, the men state they gunned down the ringleader outside a restaurant in the city. Separately, Australian reporting says three people are arrested in Samoa in connection with the case. Those arrests follow the television confessions in which two men admit carrying out the shooting. Police in Samoa say they are pursuing investigations based on the confessions and the information connected to the individuals’ alleged involvement. The reports describe an international investigation spanning Vietnam and Samoa, with authorities assessing the statements made on television and the circumstances of the alleged killing.
