Four on trial for manslaughter of 70 year old who was starved, stuffed in suitcase
A 70-year-old Chinese woman, who came to New Zealand to follow the religious instructions of a self-proclaimed sect leader, was leader found dead, wrapped in rubbish bags, in Auckland's Gulf Harbour. The Crown says Shulai Wang was at the bottom of the hierarchy in a strictly controlled house in Orewa, where it's alleged she was starved, stuffed in a suitcase, and likely suffocated. Four people are on trial, accused of Ms Wang's manslaughter. Lucy Xia reports.
