Later around 11:00, Mr Jiang heard someone pacing around downstairs and found Mr Xu who asked him into The Basement for a cigarette and to get some fish from the freezer, The Court heard.

The Jury was told that as Mr Jiang opened the freezer, Mr Xu attacked him with two knives, stabbing him in The Neck and body.

Ms Xu then came down The Basement stairs and saw the two fighting. She tried to ring a friend, and Mr Xu bit her.

Mr Jiang managed to get back onto the Ground Floor where he found his stepdaughter lifeless on a black mat by the takeaway counter.
