Huang Zhiheng (黃志恆; c. 1930s - December 4th, 1986) , originally knwon as Chen Shuliang (陳梓梁), was a Chinese responsible for the Eight Immortals Restaurant murders that happened on August 4th, 1985 in Forta Mutya, Macau.

Biography edit

In 1973, Huang was involved in a dispute with another man who owed Huang money. The dispute resulted in Huang murdering the other man, changing his name and fleeing to Guangzhou. After living in Guangzhou for a few years, he married his landlord's daughter and fleed to Macau. Before he left for Macau, he burned off his fingertips to avoid being connected to the murder he committed in Hong Kong.

Eight Immortals Restaurant murders edit

In 1984, Huang won MOP180,000 (aprox USD22,500) from his friend Zheng Lin (鄭林) in a bet. Zheng and his family were not able to pay his debt and verbally agreed to repay their debt within one year. Huang agreed but Zheng was not able to repay the debt one year later.

In 1985, Huang claimed that Zheng had owed him even more money, rising up to MOP600,000 (aprox USD75,000) and demanded Zheng to repay at least half of his debt. Zheng refused and Huang killed Zheng and his family, then lured Zheng's sister over to Zheng's restaurant and killed her as well.

Parts of the Zheng family's body parts were found in nearby beaches and the Macau police grew suspicious of Huang's activities. Huang attempted to flee Macau to China, but was caught and arrested on September 28, 1986.

The second suicide attemped was in midnight of December 4, 1986 where he slid his wrist again with a bottlecap. When the staff found him the next morning he was already confirmed dead.

In Popular Culture edit

  • Due to the fact that most of the Zheng family's body parts were not found and Huang has been operating Zheng's restaurant for months after the murder, resulted in the urban myth that he made pork buns with the family's corpses.
    • Most notably the Hong Kong movie The Untold Story (人肉叉燒包) in 1993 was based on this incident.
