A businessman was brutally murdered in front of his wife in an attack believed to be linked to the couple's credit business in Chongqing municipality.

The man, surnamed Li, aged in his 40s, was shot twice in the chest at point-blank range as he got out of his black BMW at the front gate of his Aidingbao residence in Jiangbei district at 2:10 am yesterday.

Li's distraught wife saw the face of the young male gunman and attempted to chase him down the street. She returned to help her husband, who was driven by taxi to hospital where he later died.
