Go player shot to death by robber in Guatemala

German professional go player Hans Pietsch was killed Thursday morning when he was shot in the stomach by an armed robber in the village of Amatitlan in Guatemala, the Foreign Ministry said Friday. Pietsch, 34, a fourth-dan member of Nihon Ki-in, visited Guatemala with Yoshiaki Nagahara, sixth dan, as part of the organization's project to spread knowledge of the game of go. Although Nagahara was with Pietsch at the time of the incident, his safety has been confirmed, Nihon Ki-in said. The shooting took place when the two men visited Amatitlan Lake, a scenic spot about 20 kilometers south of Guatemala City. When the men came down from an observatory on the lake, a robber threatened them and demanded money, the ministry said. Although they gave the robber money, Pietsch was shot, according to the ministry. A nearby hospital confirmed he was dead by the time he arrived, the ministry said.
Pietsch, born in Bremen, Germany, was fascinated with go and came to Japan around 1990. After becoming a member of Nihon Ki-in, he achieved second dan in 1997 and fourth dan in 2000. The two players planned to tour Cuba, Guatemala and Mexico from Jan. 9-22. Pietsch was to be the official recorder for the second match of the Kisei title tournament, which will open in Fukushima Prefecture on Jan. 29. "Mr. Pietsch was a necessary person in this period of globalization. I regret his death," Hideo Otake, 60, an honorary Kisei tittle holder, said.

»Within two days of Congress approving a resolution condemning the wave of violence and ask that President Portillo remove the Minister of the Interior (Ministro de Goernación), a group of criminals shot dead the 34-year old German tourist Hans Reinhard Pietsch, at the Santa Elena Barrillas Viewpoint (Guatemala).
The German citizen arrived in Guatemala last Monday (January 13) with Ioshiaki Najuhoba, an officer of the Nihon-Kiin. On Wednesday they made a presentation in the National Palace of Culture and yesterday they were on their way to Sololá and Chichicastenango (Quiché) in Edgar Cáceres' vehicle, who was also a member of the (Guatemalan) association. Officers of the SIC (Criminal Investigation Service) stated that there were differences between the versions given by the Japanese and the Guatemalan. Najuhoba said they were going west, but Cáceres insisted that they visit the Viewpoint. The guatemaltan, on the other hand, said that they had planned to go to that place. According to the investigators, a pillow was found in the vehicle where Pietsch was shot, which is assumed to have been used by the assassins as a silencer. Pietsch was taken in Cáceres' car to the Hospital at Amatitlán, where he died on arrival. The autopsy revealed a 9mm bullet lodged next to his spine, according to the police. Representatives of the German Embassy requested that the Minister of the Interior, José Adolfo Reyes Calderón, investigate the murder of their countryman. This happend during a public event in a Hotel in the capital. The police arrested Cáceres«
