Accused murderer Lian Bin "Robert" Xie was motivated by "bitterness" and a "loss of face" when he crept into the home of his brother-in-law and killed him and his family with a "hammer-like instrument" as they slept in their beds, a court has heard.
Mr Xie is accused of murdering Min "Norman" Lin, 45; Mr Lin’s wife, Yun "Lily" Li Lin, 44; their sons Henry, 12, and Terry, 9; and Ms Lin's sister, Yun Bin "Irene" Yin, 39, in the early hours of July 18, 2009 in Boundary Road, Epping.
In his opening address to Mr Xie's trial in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday, Crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi, QC, said that the nature of the attacks on the family, and the fact that nothing was taken suggested that they were neither robberies nor sexual attacks.
This included the particularly severe head and facial injuries inflicted on Norman Lin and Lilly Lin.
"It is the Crown case that the assailant was motivated by bitterness towards the family in the commission of these murders," Mr Tedeschi said.
"The assailant came into the home prepared for the commission of the offences.
"I was not a robbery or a sexual attack."
Mr Tedeschi said that, some time after the murders, Mr Xie told an inmate at Long Bay jail "information" that suggested the motive for the crimes was a "loss of face", something which had particular significant in Chinese culture.
Earlier, Mr Tedeschi outlined a series of factors that pointed to a single killer acting alone, and someone who knew the layout of the house intimately, as was the case with Mr Xie.
These factors included the fact that the killer was able to move around the dark house without waking any of the occupants.
They then committed the killings in order of the threat of "resistance and detection" represented by each of the victims. The bedroom of the one member of the family who was not present at the time, was not touched in any way, suggesting that her absence was known to the killer.
The assailant also had access to a key and the power box, meaning that they did not have to force entry into the home.
Further evidence pointing to Mr Xie's involvement, the court heard, came from 24 bloody shoe prints left by the killer in the house.
Mr Tedeschi said that experts had determined the killer wore a pair of Asics sports shoes in the size range of US men's 8.5 to 10.5, Mr Tedeschi said. Mr Xie's shoe size of 9.5 is in the middle of that range.
Furthermore, the bloody shoe print matched six models of Asics shoes, including the Gel Elevation II.
Mr Xie favoured Asics shoes and a search of his computer found a picture of him wearing the Elevation II in 2006.
Mr Tedeschi said Mr Xie wore the shoes during the attack and disposed of them in "some unknown place" shortly after.
But the shoe box remained in the cupboard of his North Epping home and was not disposed of until much later, Mr Tedeschi said.
Mr Tedeschi said when crime scene investigators searched Mr Xie's house some time after the murders they found what is alleged to have been a small smear of blood on the garage floor.
An analysis of the spot allegedly contained a mix of blood of three of the victims.
Mr Tedeschi said that, having committed the murders, Mr Xie would have been covered in blood as he walked the 300 metres back to his house in Beck Street.
On the Crown case, Mr Xie placed an item on the garage floor, which could have been an item of clothing or a weapon, leaving the smear. Mr Xie failed to notice the small mark when he cleaned his garage floor the next day, Mr Tedeschi said.
Mr Xie disposed of the murder weapon - a hammer-like object with a piece of rope attached to it - after the bodies were discovered, Mr Tedeschi said.
The trial continues.
