GRANDFATHER Yang Fei Lin was planning on buying his grandson a new pair of shoes on the morning the Lin family was discovered murdered in a Sydney home.
In an interview with police played to the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday, Mr Lin recalls the last night he saw his son Min and his two grandsons Henry, 12, and Terry, nine, alive.
Mr Lin said the family had come around for their usual Friday dinner on July 17, 2009, telling police it was a "quiet, normal night".
Henry had asked him to fix his shoes, as their soles were falling off.
So the next morning, Mr Lin said he got up at 9am to get to work but soon realised they were beyond repair so rang the Lin house.
"I wanted to ask my son or daughter-in-law to ask for Henry to come to our house so we could buy him a new pair of shoes," Mr Lin told the court.
"But we couldn't reach them."
That morning the family's bloodied and battered bodies were discovered in their North Epping home.
It is the crown case that Robert Xie had entered the house of brother-in-law Min Lin and murdered the 45-year-old, his wife Lily, 44, her sister Irene, 39, and Henry and Terry in the early hours of July 18, 2009.
Xie has pleaded not guilty.
Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Lin entered the witness box to tell the court through an interpreter that there had been no friction in the family before the killings.
"Before the five members of my son's family were murdered we had a normal and good relationship with my daughter (Kathy) and her husband," Mr Lin said.
However, after the killings he said disputes concerning his son's inheritance and the guardianship of the sole surviving member of the Lin family began.
The trial continues.
