Keep murder accused Robert Xie in jail, DPP urges

TWO starkly different portraits of the man accused of one of Sydney's most horrific multiple murders were painted in court yesterday as prosecutors made a last-ditch attempt to keep the alleged Lin family killer behind bars.
Lian Bin "Robert" Xie, 48, will have to wait until Christmas Eve to learn whether he is allowed to join his family for the festive season after more than 18 months in custody.
He was this week committed to stand trial for bludgeoning to death his brother-in-law, Epping newsagent Min "Norman" Lin, and four other family members, whose bloodied bodies were found in their home in July 2009.
But magistrate John Andrews granted Xie bail on Thursday after finding the case against him was "well short" of being strong, adding there were flaws in DNA evidence linking him to the crime scene.
The Director of Public Prosecutions immediately appealed the decision.
Xie's lawyer Lester Fernandez yesterday told the Supreme Court that his client was a man of unblemished character who "put his family first" - rather than the cold-blooded killer he had been portrayed as. "(He) was a person who was successful in business and was honourable in business," he said.
Xie had offered his home - worth $700,000 - as security and his sister had guaranteed a further $200,000 in cash for his bail, the court heard.
Crown Prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC said Xie was known to have transferred $1 million to China and he had the connections to live there in comfort if he fled Australia.
He described Xie's alleged killings as "a crime of business resentment and hatred".
"This is a particularly serious case of murder and there is a particularly good reason for (him) to flee," Mr Tedeschi said.
Xie had also been caught "coaching" his wife Kathy Lin - Mr Lin's sister - and a surviving female member of the Lin family, who cannot be named for legal reasons, about what to tell police when questioned, Mr Tedeschi said.
"You just tell police how (your relatives) bullshit and fabricate lies ... it's not like (they) say, that I'm jealous," Xie said in one recorded conversation.
But Mr Fernandez said Xie had travelled overseas three times since the family was killed and he had returned every time, despite knowing since mid-2010 that he was under suspicion.
He said the prosecution case against his client was weak and there were several pieces of physical evidence that pointed to a different killer.
Justice Stephen Rothman will give his decision on the bail appeal on Monday.
以上是2012年底的一篇报道
里面有一位法官说，“将他连到凶案现场的DNA证据本身有误”（there were flaws in DNA evidence linking him to the crime scene）
另一位法官说，“已经知道谢曾经转移一百万澳币到中国”（Xie was known to have transferred $1 million to China）
