Chef killed over meal of fried noodles: two suspects still at large

A Japanese chef was killed after a dispute over fried noodles.

Chef Miki Nozawa, was killed by two disgruntled guests on the German holiday island of Sylt after a dispute over the dish, according to AAP.

Nozawa, 57, died from his injuries on Monday after staying at the intensive care unit in a local hospital.
Senior public prosecutor Ulrike Stahlmann-Liebelt said the autopsy results leading to the cause of Nozawa's death are not available as of yet.

Nozawa was attacked by two skilled workers, reportedly aged 36 and 50. However, the two suspects are still at large.

According to Sylt Rundschau newspaper, the two suspects demanded a refund because they did not like the way their food was prepared. They reportedly ordered fried noodles with vegetables and beef. The two then disappeared from the restaurant without paying, according to Bild.de.

Nozawa reportedly met the two again later that night at a local table-dance bar, where their feud escalated. He was taken to hospital with severe brain injuries and internal bleeding, according to his wife.
