Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Wah Mee massacre was a mulitiple homicide on February 18, 1983, in which Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak, Wai-Chiu "Tony" Ng, and Benjamin Ng gunned down 14 people in the Wah Mee gambling club on Maynard Alley S. just south of S. King Street in Seattle''s Chinatown. Thirteen of their victims lost their lives, but one survived to testify against the three in one of Seattle''s highest-profile trials ever. It remains the deadliest mass murder in the state''s history.The Wah Mee club operated illegally in a basement space in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood. The club''s regulars included many wealthy restaurant-owners, several of whom were among the victims. Security at the club was based in part on a system of passing through multiple successive doors, which had been used in similar Chinatown gambling dens for generations, and had usually been quite effective.
