Five people went on trial Thursday in China on charges of beating a woman to death in a McDonald’s restaurant after unsuccessfully trying to recruit her to join their Christian cult.
They allegedly belong to the Church of Almighty God, also known as Eastern Lightning, a group that claims to have millions of members here and believes that God has returned to Earth in China in the form of a female Christ.
The five are accused of trying to recruit the woman in McDonald’s in the eastern city of Zhaoyuan on the evening of May 28.

Footage of the incident from closed-circuit television cameras and video taken by other diners went viral at the time.
