a big story we're following tonight... a jury is deliberating the fate of a man accused of committing one of the most gruesome murders in san francisco history.(grant) five members of a family were brutally killed inside a home in san francsico's ingleside district back in 2012. kron4's maureen kelly explains

the two theories of the case that the jury has to decide between. it was an early morning in march of 2012 that a 12 year girl dropped by her grandparent's house on howth street near san francisco city college and instead stumbled into a bloody horror show.the grandparents, their daughter, son and daughter in law all dead.. bludgeoned to death with a hammer. a crime even grizzled police veterns like then chief greg suhr found unnerving. "it's a genuine tragedy at 16 howth street." bin luke was eventually arrested and charged with the mass killing. an acquaintence of the son, vincent lei, the two often played mahjong together. in closing arguments the proscutor told the jury how luke, seen here in an eariler court appearance, had recently lost a lot of money gambling and was poised to be evicted from his apartment. the alleged motive to the crime.robbery. since vincent lei was known to keep a lot of cash in the house.the defense says there was no evidence of a robbery and suggested the style of murder was more in line with a gang style loan shark style killing and that the real killers were never caught because the police stopped looking when luke was arrested.coincidently the trial ended up being heard directly across the hallway from where the kate steinle murder trial was held. both trials overlapped, but the quintuple slaying got a lot

less media attention.but these two cases have more in common than the location of their courtrooms.like jose garcia zarate luke is an undocumented immigrant with a criminal history. luke was convicted of robbery and assault in san jose back in 1998.but luke was turned over to ice when he was released from state prison and an attempt was made to deport him back to his native vietnam. but vietnam declined to take him back. maureen kelly kron4 news.
