Lin family murders

The Lin family murders were the 2009 killings of North Epping, New South Wales, Australia news agent Min Lin; his wife Yun Lin; his sister-in-law Irene Lin; and their two sons, Henry (12) and Terry (9). The family were bludgeoned to death with a blunt instrument, which was never found. The faces of the victims were so disfigured that forensics had to be used to identify them.

Kathy Lin, sister of Min Lin, discovered the bodies when she went to the house at around 9:00 am to see why the news agency run by the Lin family was not open. She called the police and an ambulance, but the victims were beyond help.

Brenda Lin, 15, was the only member of the immediate family to survive. She was on a school trip in New Caledonia with her Cheltenham Girls classmates at the time of the murders. She learned of the murders via Facebook.
