Lanyue Xiao and her husband Kaixiao Liu.
The court has heard that a diary found at an Auckland home at the center of police's investigation into the death of 70-year-old Shulai Wang talked about establishing a "kingdom" and having "many servants".
Audio recordings and text files in relation to Wang have been found on a defendant's device, and fingerprints of Wang and another defendant were found on documents at the defendants' house in Orewa, north Auckland.
Wang's body was found wrapped in layers of rubbish bags in Gulf Harbour by a fisherman in March 2024.
The Crown said Wang came to New Zealand to seek religious instructions from Kaixiao Liu.
