Shu Poon

Shu Poon is a key witness in the trial regarding the murder of Auckland couple Joseph Kwok and Mei Han Chong, having pleaded guilty to their murder and conspiracy to murder a co-defendant's ex-landlord. Poon, who moved to New Zealand from Hong Kong at the age of 13, was introduced to his co-defendant in 2023 through a church pastor. His testimony has been scrutinized in court, with suggestions that he may have played a more active role in the murders than he claims. He has been described as having a complex background, including various jobs and studies, and has admitted to having a history of embellishment.
