The trial of Lok Li has begun over the deaths of Ellerslie couple Fuk-Fu Joseph Kwok and Mei Han Chong, who were killed by intruders inside their Auckland home.
Kwok, 66, worked as a theatre nurse before the couple died. Two months earlier, Li appeared at the front desk of an Auckland police station after members of his church encouraged him to make what was described as a strange confession.
The Crown alleges that a revenge plan changed after a Disputes Tribunal case brought a new target into focus.
