Flashermac Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 THE NATION 8 Feb 2007 Thai among seven killed in gruesome shootings in Germany Sittensen, Germany - German police said on Wednesday they had arrested two Vietnamese men in connection with the killings of seven people in a Chinese restaurant three days ago. The men, aged 29 and 31, were arrested on Monday in a hire car during a "routine check" on a road near the northern city of Bremen, said Petra Guderian, who is leading the investigation. The shootings took place in the early hours of Monday in the Lin Yue restaurant in the small town of Sittensen, situated between Bremen and Hamburg. Three men and three women were found tied up and shot dead in the restaurant in the early hours of Monday, while a man found at the scene with serious gunshot wounds died of his injuries in hospital on Tuesday. Police identified one of the victims as a 31-year-old Thai man living in Wolfenbuettel. They did not reveal his name. Other victims were the owners of the restaurant, a Hong Kong Chinese couple who were British passport holders. He was aged 36, she was 28. Their two-year-old daughter was found unharmed at the restaurant and was in good health, police said. A 36-year-old woman of Malaysian origin who worked as a waitress at the restaurant was also among the dead. Her husband had raised the alarm when he arrived at the restaurant to pick up his wife from work. Guderian told a press conference that a document "linked to the scene of the crime" was found in the car as well as traces of white powder which one of the men said was cocaine. Three flats belonging to the Vietnamese men in Bremen and nearby Ahlhorn have been searched. The suspects are refusing to cooperate with police. Guderian said the motive for the killings remained unclear. The identity of the remaining three dead is still being established.
