Wenjing Lin, also known as Wenjing Xu, died following the incident at Blue Sky Chinese in Baglan Street, a restaurant owned by her family on March 5,

Chun Xu later told police he wanted "revenge" against Wenjing's mother Meifang Xu after he fell into debt.

The jury has been told 32-year-old defendant knew Wenjing Lin, 16, and her mother and stepfather Yongquan Jiang. The family ran the Blue Sky Chinese takeaway in Treherbert. He arrived there with a knife taken from a Chinese takeaway in Pontypridd where he was staying.
