The 47-year-old man was arrested by police today, and is due to appear in the Manukau District Court.

Zhong, 55, was reported missing from her home in Suzetta Place, Sunnyhills, in late November. 

Her last confirmed sighting was on 27 November at home at 4.30pm and her body was found in the boot of a car a few streets away the next day.

Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers of Counties Manukau Police said from the outset of the investigation the team of detectives working on Operation Attina had worked diligently to bring about a result.

He said he hoped this would bring some reassurance to the community and Elizabeth's family.
