Robert Xie, who was jailed for life for the brutal murders of five members of his extended family in Sydney’s north-west, has lost his bid to overturn his convictions in the Court of Criminal Appeal.
Xie, 57, was found guilty in 2017 of murdering his brother-in-law Min “Norman” Lin, 45, Mr Lin’s wife Yun Li “Lily” Lin, 43, her sister Yun Bin “Irene” Lin, 39, and the Lins’ two sons, Henry, 12, and Terry, 9.
