New Zealand police said that"three police officers travelled to South Korea to transport the woman", who arrived at Auckland Airport in the afternoon and was taken to Manukau Police Station.
"We hope that the truth of this case, which has received worldwide attention, will be revealed through a fair and strict judicial process in New Zealand," said an official in Seoul."She will be held in custody overnight when she will then be expected to appear in the Manukau District Court on two charges of murder," police added.
Images in Korean media at the time of her arrest showed the woman, who South Korean police have identified only by her surname Lee, being led out of an Ulsan police station by plainclothes investigators, covering her head with a large brown coat. The bodies were discovered in south Auckland after an unsuspecting family bought a trailer-load of items - including the suitcases - at an auction for abandoned goods.
