The Sithensen Massacre: Tragedy at the Great Wall Restaurant

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

In February 2007, a horrific mass murder occurred at the "Nian Yu Jiu Lou" Chinese restaurant in Sittensen, Germany, resulting in the deaths of the owners and five employees who were bound and shot during a robbery. The perpetrators, a group of five Vietnamese men including a former employee, targeted the restaurant to steal money to cover gambling and drug debts, though they spared the owners' two-year-old daughter who was found unharmed at the scene. Following a breakthrough during a routine traffic stop, the suspects were arrested and convicted, with the primary shooters receiving life sentences for their roles in the massacre.
