Crown alleges minor traffic accident led to murder as Lok Fung Lorrence Li trial begins

Lok Fung Lorrence Li is facing charges of murder and conspiracy after allegedly orchestrating the killings of Fuk-Fu Joseph Kwok and his wife Mei Han Chong in November 2023. During the trial in Auckland, Li pleaded guilty to manslaughter but not guilty to murder and conspiracy. Prosecutors claim the incident stemmed from a prior traffic accident involving Li and Kwok, which led to a dispute resolved through the Disputes Tribunal. The Crown argues that Li used the Kwok's address obtained during tribunal proceedings to plan the attack, enlisting Shu Man Poon's help. Poon is alleged to have played a significant role in the crime, including attempting to target another individual. The prosecution asserts that Li was the mastermind behind the murders, rather than merely a participant.
