Chinese businessman 'slaughtered couple and their daughters, 18, and 12, with kitchen knife in ruthlessly efficient revenge attack sparked by legal dispute'

A Chinese businessman murdered a family of four with ‘ruthless efficiency’ in order to ‘avenge himself’ after a business relationship turned sour, a court heard today. Anxiang Du, 55, is accused of killing Manchester Metropolitan University lecturer Jifeng ‘Jeff’ Ding, his wife, Ge ‘Helen’ Chui, and their two daughters, Xing ‘Nancy’ 18, and Alice, 12. Du armed himself with a kitchen knife and stabbed the family to death in their own home on April 29 2011, the day of the royal wedding, the jury at Northampton Crown Court was told. William Harbage QC said: ‘The prosecution case is that this defendant, Anxiang Du, on the day of the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, on April 29, 2011, travelled to Northampton from his home in Coventry, via Birmingham, armed with a kitchen knife, and savagely stabbed to death firstly the two people, Mr and Mrs Ding, with whom he had been having a long-running legal dispute. ‘Not content with killing them, the mother and father, in the kitchen of their own home, he then went upstairs to find their two daughters, Nancy aged 18 and Alice aged 12, cowering in a bedroom. He cold-bloodedly stabbed them to death as well.’
