Lin family murders: lawyer 'sent letter naming killers'

Police are not confirming reports a Sydney lawyer was sent a letter naming the alleged killers of newsagent Min Lin and his family.
The Lin family's lawyer, Daniel Sheen, was sent an anonymous two-page letter naming the killers and outlining how Min Lin, his wife Lillie, their two sons Henry and Terry, and Mrs Lin's sister Irene, were murdered, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Mr Sheen has reportedly handed on the letter to homicide detectives. But Homicide Squad Commander Geoff Beresford would not confirm the existence of the letter or what it contained.
"It is not in the interests of investigators, and therefore it is not in the interests of the Lin family, to be publicly airing this information," Detective Superintendent Beresford said.
"In fact the constant drip feed of information into the public domain, accurate or otherwise, has the potential to hamper the investigation and undermine the hard work being done by our detectives.
"The public can be assured that we are aggressively investigating each and every piece of information we receive.
"However it is important to stress that any information handed to police is treated with the strictest of confidence, and we will not be commenting on the contents of any information we may have received."
The Lins were found bludgeoned to death in their North Epping home last month.
The couple's other child, 15-year-old Jun "Brenda" Lin, was on a school trip to New Caledonia when the murders happened.
Evidence from the month-long investigation has shown two people killed the Lin family, probably with separate weapons.
The information, garnered from the crime scene and forensic testing, suggests it is more likely the murders were professional and organised, rather than personally motivated.
The lack of usable forensic evidence from the crime scene, the fact that the power was cut before the murders and the apparently high degree of planning lend credence to the theory that the killers were at least semi-professional.
It is understood that all the local relatives of the murdered family have been accounted for at the time of the killings, and that profits in the past financial year of more than $1 million from the family's newsagency might have made the family a target for organised crime groups.
The weapons used in the murders have not been found and detectives on Strike Force Norburn, comprising Homicide Squad detectives and some assistance from the Asian Crime Squad, are struggling to find a motive.
Brenda recently revealed that she believed at least two of the victims had been specifically targeted.
"It seemed to be personally aimed at my parents," she said in a paid television interview with Channel Nine's program, 60 Minutes, on Sunday.
The current affairs show went as far as to show, in a re-enactment, two men climbing a flight of stairs and carrying a baseball bat and torch.
But it is understood a preliminary forensic review has been unable to establish what types of weapons were used, except that they were blunt.
Brenda was also trying to move on with her life and might soon return to school. A family lawyer, Daniel Sheen, said: "Maybe she will go back to school in two weeks - maybe."
Anyone with information about the murders can contact Strike Force Norburn detectives via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Donations to Brenda can be made to Commonwealth Bank account number 11139323, BSB number 062006, under the names Yang Fei Lin and Feng Qin Zhu. |
