Accused Lin family murderer Robert Xie allegedly told a fellow inmate that he had "martial arts training" and knew how to incapacitate people.
Lian Bin "Robert" Xie is accused of wielding a "hammer-like weapon" when he murdered his wife's brother Min "Norman" Lin, 45, Mr Lin's wife Yun "Lily" Li Lin, 44 and their sons Henry, 12, and Terry, 9 in their Sydney home in the early hours of July 18, 2009.
He is also alleged to have killed Lily's sister, Yun Bin "Irene" Yin, 39.
Xie, who has pleaded not guilty to the Epping murders, was charged in 2010 and taken to Long Bay prison.
It was here, crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC told his trial on Monday, that he befriended a fellow inmate, known only as 'Witness A'.
During a series of recorded and unrecorded conversations it is alleged Xie "confided a number of things" to him about the murders.
Even though I know it happens all the time, I still can't believe that somebody that murdered people would brag about it to another prisoner!! Talk about lack of self-preservation. It blows my mind!!:facepalm:
