A Chinese student goes on trial in Auckland today for the murder of teenager Jia-Yee Lee.
The youngster, also known as Kiko, was found in the boot of her car in Hamilton in June last year after she was stabbed to death.
Hong-Lin Yu denies murdering her.
Earlier this year, his friend Yung-Shin Lee changed his plea to guilty and was jailed for at least 16 years.
The motive for the killing was money.
