Police investigate people-smuggling link to Lin murderGEESCHE JACOBSEN CRIME EDITOR
November 10, 2009
POLICE are investigating if the gruesome murder of the Lin family in March was a case of mistaken identity relating to a convicted people smuggler called ''David'' Min Lin.
David Min Lin, a computer student from Ryde who was born in the Chinese city of Fuqing, was involved in a failed attempt 10 years ago to smuggle 69 Chinese immigrants by boat to Australia.
After being arrested he pleaded guilty and offered to give police information about the scheme believed to have been organised by a criminal gang in Hong Kong.
He was jailed and placed in immigration detention after he served his jail term, but appealed against deportation orders because he had a wife and son, who was an Australian citizen.
While official records seem to support that David Min Lin, a Chinese citizen, was deported, no record could last night be found of the outcome of his appeal.
In July this year the Epping newsagent Min Lin, 46, his wife Yun Li ''Lillie'' Lin, 44, her sister Yun Bin ''Irene'' Lin, 39, and the couple's sons Henry, 12, and Terry, 9, were murdered in their Boundary Street home.
Police are not ruling out that the family were killed in error by someone meaning to target David Min Lin in a revenge killing. It is one of a number of theories police are investigating.
The brutal nature of the Lin family murder, and the killing of the children, would be consistent with it being the work of a triad.
Authorities believe David Min Lin, who turned 39 this year, helped plan the people-smuggling operation organised by a Lidcombe chicken filleter, Xin Chen.
When the 69 economic refugees were found in the boat's secret compartment off Port Kembla in May 1999, the 85-metre freighter Ka Yuen was the largest people-smuggling boat ever intercepted by Australian authorities, and it had ventured further south than any other boat before it.
The men had planned to transfer the illegal immigrants to an eight-metre, oceangoing powerboat called Gruesome and land them at Dolans Bay, where they were to be transferred into mini-buses. But the Gruesome had engine trouble and the attempt to bring them ashore failed.
David Min Lin, who had rented the minibuses and a house and organised the boat's repair, stood to be paid $3000 for his role.
Mr Chen claimed he had disabled the Gruesome's motor and was involved in a ''conspiracy within a conspiracy'' seeking to defraud the Hong Kong syndicate and never intended to bring the immigrants to Australia. But he was found guilty of people smuggling and sentenced to a minimum of 12 months in prison after which he was granted parole.
The people smugglers had charged the would-be immigrants $20,000 each and promised them jobs at the Sydney 2000 Olympics. The immigrants were deported to Hong Kong. |
