Anxiang Du, who murdered the Ding family of four in revenge after a business deal turned sour, has been jailed for at least 40 years.
University lecturer Jifeng 'Jeff' Ding, his wife, Ge 'Helen' Chui, and their two daughters, Xing 'Nancy', 18, and Alice, 12, were murdered on April 29, 2011, the day of the Royal Wedding.
Du fled the country and later, after admitting the killings, said he should be convicted for manslaughter on the basis of either diminished responsibility or loss of control.
The two girls were hiding in an upstairs bedroom Jurors at Northampton Crown Court took just over four hours to convict him of murder.
Sentencing Du, who stared down at his hands, Mr Justice Flaux said: "What is clear from the evidence and the verdicts is that these were cold-blooded murders which, in my view, were pre-meditated and were considered acts of revenge in which you wiped out an entire family.
The Dings had been involved with Du in a herbal medicine business "I'm quite satisfied that hatred and anger and your desire for revenge was what motivated you to act as you did on the April 29, not the moderate depression you suffered."
The judge said he believed Du had formulated his plan on the night of April 28 or the morning of the next day before carrying out the "frenzied attack".
He said CCTV footage that showed him travelling to the Dings' home revealed he was "calm and methodic" and a "man on a mission."
CCTV footage has shown Du had taken the family car The killings were "savage butchery" with an intent to kill, the judge added.
He went on: "You did not lose your self control in killing Jeff Ding In effect, you executed the man you hated."
During Du's two-week trial, the jury heard that he carried out the killings with "ruthless efficiency" after he lost a 10-year legal battle with the Ding family and ended up owing £88,000 in court costs.
Post-mortem examinations showed Du stabbed Mr Ding 23 times and Mrs Ding 13 times, leaving them to bleed to death in their kitchen.
The family lived at Wootton in Northamptonshire He then went upstairs and knifed Nancy 11 times, and Alice four.
Mr Justice Flaux continued: "Not content with the slaughter of the parents downstairs, you then went upstairs to the back bedroom where the two young Ding girls were cowering.
"It is apparent from the fact that Nancy's mobile made the 999 call, that they had heard what was happening downstairs and she was frantically trying to ring the police for help.
"At that moment it seems you came into the room and within a short period of time you had also murdered those poor defenceless girls.
"It is clear from their terrible haunting screams on the 999 call that it was during that call that you murdered them."
