Man who killed family over business deal gets 40 years
ByThe Courier Reporter
Anxiang Du has been jailed for a minimum of 40 years after being convicted of murdering four members of the Ding family at their home in Northamptonshire.
A deranged businessman who murdered a family of four in a bloody revenge attack after a commercial relationship turned sour has been jailed for at least 40 years.
Anxiang Du, 54, stabbed to death Manchester Metropolitan University lecturer Jifeng “Jeff”‘ Ding, his wife, Ge “Helen” Chui, and their two daughters Xing “Nancy”, 18, and Alice, 12, on April 29, 2011.
Du fled the country after the cold-blooded murders and later admitted the killings but said he should be convicted of manslaughter on the basis of either diminished responsibility or loss of control.
But jurors at Northampton Crown Court rejected the claim, taking just over three hours to unanimously convict him of the murders.
