Stade, Germany - Two brothers were jailed for life Wednesday in Germany for gunning down seven people in a Chinese restaurant in 2007. Three other defendants were given sentences ranging from four to 14 years for the crime, at the Lin Yue restaurant in Sittensen, 50 kilometres southwest of Hamburg.

The case was complicated by the fact that all seven were killed by 14 bullets fired by a single gun.

The court in Stade sentenced the two brothers to life for the killings, a third man to 14 years for robbery with fatal consequences, a fourth man to five years for incitement and the fifth got four years and nine months for abetting a robbery. All five were from Vietnam.

The crime occurred shortly before midnight on February 4, 2007, when the British owner of the restaurant, 32-yearo ld Danny Wing Hong Fan, his 28-year old wife, and five staff from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong were shot dead in rapid succession.

The only survivor was the baby daughter of the owners.
