Three South Africans have been asked by the authorities in Angola to stay back in that country pending an investigation into the death of prominent Indian businessman Ashwini K. Puri.

A South African foreign affairs spokesman said today that three persons who had arrived in the Angolan capital Luanda on the same flight as Puri and checked into the same hotel have been asked to stay back.

But he added that two other passengers on that flight, who had also checked into the Meridien Hotel had already left Angola. The trio are still staying at the hotel.

Puri, chief of the Lord Krishna Bank, two pilots and three other South Africans had checked into the Meridian Hotel in Luanda last Tuesday after flying in from South Africa. He was found dead in his hotel room the following day.
