同林家书报店同处一条街的一美发店老板告诉记者，书报店经常遭遇抢劫，最近的一次发生在一个月前。而那次事件让这对夫妻较过去气愤得多。
凶杀小组的Geoff Beresford警官在接受Sky News采访时说，由于缺乏直接目击证人，一切都依赖于对犯罪现场的勘察，而这一切是一个漫长、繁琐的过程。

A Sydney family bashed to death as they slept in their North Epping home last week were robbed at knife point in their newsagency a month ago, a shopkeeper says.
Hairdresser Renae Marsden, who works two shops up from the Lins' Rawson Street newsagency, said the family's business was burgled often but a recent incident left Min and
Yun Li "Lillie" Lin more upset than she had ever seen them.
"It was a month ago, a month-and-a-half. Lillie was held up by a knife. It was awful," Ms Marsden said.
"We'd hear Min running out the back of our alleyway here chasing someone all the time but this was worse."
Police investigating the deaths of Mr and Mrs Lin, their sons Henry, 12, and Terry, 9, and Mrs Lin's sister, Yun Bin Yin, 39, could not confirm Ms Marsden's account.
Ms Marsden said she saw the Lins every day and found news of their deaths "sickening".
"They were just down to earth people, they were so lovely," she said.
"Lillie was an angel. They would all of them greet you with a smile, say 'have a good day'. They'd start the day really good for you."
While autopsies on the bodies of the Lin family continue, their remaining daughter, 15-year-old Brenda Lin, remains in hiding in the care of relatives.
Police are examining the family's past, business dealings and relations to discover if someone close to them had a motive to want them dead.
Police expect to see final autopsy results on Friday, a spokeswoman said.
Investigators spoke to Brenda briefly yesterday and planned to interview her further but were not sure when it would occur.
The family was being co-operative but were deeply traumatised, the spokeswoman said.
The head of the homicide squad, Detective Superintendent Geoff Beresford, said forensics would hold the key but a strike force of 18 detectives was throwing everything at the case.
"It's very difficult to determine [whether the crimes were committed by one or more people] and that's why we rely so heavily on the forensics in this case," Superintendent Beresford told Sky News.
"We don't have any eyewitnesses obviously, but the victims themselves can tell us so much in terms of forensic examination and that process is a long, laborious process."
Henry and Terry had attended Epping North Public School, but Henry had started at Epping Boys High School this year. Brenda, who had been on a study trip to New Caledonia with her high school, Cheltenham Girls, returned home on Sunday.
Superintendent Beresford said she was not under police guard but was safe with relatives in a secret location.
"We do have concerns for her safety in so far as this is such an unusual and such a vicious attack, and we have taken steps to ensure her safety," he said.
It is understood two other relatives, Shu Lin and Lian Bin Xie, are also in hiding, and that police are keeping a watch on international borders, with concerns that the killer or killers may try to flee the country.
The autopsies are expected to be completed by Friday. Yesterday forensic staff continued their examinations of the three upstairs bedrooms in which the family were killed as they slept, between midnight on Friday and 8am on Saturday.
Police had yet to identify a suspect or motive, Superintendent Beresford said.
"It's not clear to us at this point in time and that's why it's critical to work very methodically through the profiling process," he said.
"But also we're heavily reliant on anybody who has information about the family that assists in building up that profile."
Superintendent Beresford told Sky News members of the public had provided valuable information, but he appealed for anyone else who had seen anything suspicious in the days leading up to the attacks to contact police.
He confirmed that two family members who were seen being escorted by police through the family's newsagency, on Rawson Street, were helping to identify business documents to assist with the investigation.
Police are making inquiries in China as to whether Yun Bin Yin had a boyfriend or husband there. They did not explain why she was living at the house. |
