Sydney Dentist’s Estranged Wife Reveals Abuse After His Death by Police
Cassandra Lin has published an open letter on Instagram accusing her estranged husband, dentist Steven Lin, of affairs, secrets and abuse. She said the revelations came amid the grief of his recent death and the shock of the violent incident in Potts Point on March 3.
The Potts Point attack and police response
Police shot Steven Lin after he attacked two women inside an apartment complex. The incident occurred on March 3 when officers first used a Taser, which was later judged ineffective, before firing one round that proved fatal.
The two victims, named as Chloe Paul and Christine Campeau, were taken to hospital. Both underwent surgery for extensive facial injuries and survived the assault.
Claims made in the open letter
In her public message, the estranged wife said she discovered multiple affairs and hidden aspects of his life. She wrote that a child he fathered without her knowledge destroyed the trust between them.
Cassandra described carrying “the pain of betrayal” and vowed to raise their children alone. She called him complicated and flawed while stressing that people are not defined by a single act.
Family and future
She pledged to care for the couple’s children and to keep their father’s memory alive in them. Cassandra said the children deserve to know their father loved them.
Professional profile and legal history
The Sydney dentist had a large social media following, with more than 250,000 Instagram followers. He published The Dental Diet and formerly led Helix Dentistry on the NSW Central Coast.
The pair separated in early 2024, and his ties with Helix Dentistry ended around that time. He was 41 years old.
Past charges
- Allegations and court appearances included stalking.
- He faced accusations of assaults and choking.
- Breaches of apprehended violence orders were also reported.
