On 4 August 1985, Chinese gambler Huang Zhiheng murdered a family of ten in the Eight Immortals Restaurant in Portuguese Macau (present-day Macau SAR, China). He stabbed or strangled each of his victims to death before dismembering their bodies and disposing of their remains in the ocean and dumpsters. Huang purportedly committed the murders because the Zheng family owed him a gambling debt of 600,000 patacas (or US$75,047).
