On the night of 4–5 February 2007, seven people were shot and killed during a robbery at the Lin Yue restaurant in Sittensen, Lower Saxony, Germany. A two-year-old girl, the daughter of the two murdered owners, was left alive. Five Vietnamese immigrants were arrested and sentenced for the murders.

The killings are considered one of the worst mass murders in post-war German history and have been dubbed the "Seven-fold murders of Sittensen" and "Sittensen massacre". The investigation was marred by sensationalist reporting focusing on speculative involvement of Asian crime syndicates, which persisted well into the trial of the perpetrators.[1]
