GRUESOME details of the Lin family murders - the crime that shocked Sydney - were revealed in court for the first time yesterday.
Crown documents tendered during Robert Xie's unsuccessful bail hearing in Central Local Court revealed DNA evidence which police said linked him to the killing of his five relatives, who were murdered as they slept in their North Epping home on July 18, 2009.
One chilling piece of evidence said the youngest victim may have survived for up to two hours after the attack, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Xie and his wife Kathy found the bodies the morning of the murder, with Kathy Lin, the sister of newsagent Min, telling police that her husband had "hugged her from behind and told her not to look" as they approached a bedroom.
Xie, 47, was arrested after nearly two years of investigation by homicide detectives, who have prepared a case Magistrate Julie Huber described as "not weak".
The court was told of DNA evidence taken from both the crime scene and the nearby home of Xie and his wife Kathy.
Crown prosecutor Kara Shead told the court no blood was found on the surviving relative's door handle or near her bedroom - and Xie had been aware she was overseas.
Documents said Min Lin and his wife Lilly were killed first "whilst asleep" but the other victims had "defensive injuries". "There were signs of a violent struggle ... and the autopsy findings indicate (the youngest victim) may have survived for between one to two hours after being attacked," they state.
The court was told police found 24 shoe impressions on the first floor of the Lin home, which "the majority ... matched to the tread used on three models of ASICS brand men's running shoes" with a number of those "found to have been made by a men's US size between 8.5 and 10.5".
"At the time of the offences, the accused owned a number of pairs of ASICS brand runners in size men's 9.5 US," documents state.
"After a police interview with (Xie's wife) Kathy Lin about these shoe impressions, the accused is recorded on (surveillance) video retrieving objects that appear to be shoeboxes and is later recorded on video cutting up these ... with scissors and placing the pieces into a shredder and also into a bucket containing a liquid. The accused flushed the contents of the bucket down the toilet.
"The Crown case is that one of the objects disposed of by the accused was the shoebox that had previously contained the ... men's running shoes owned by him."
But Xie's barrister Graham Turnbull SC told the court his client lacked the "military or martial arts" experience to carry out such a violent crime and suggested that there was likely to have been more than one killer.
Xie will face court again on March 6.
