One of the men charged after father-of-two Bao Chang Wang s remains were exhumed from a remote spot in the North Island has admitted being an accessory to murder after the fact.
Gaoxiang Yu, 24, entered a guilty plea today in the High Court at Auckland before Justice Edwin Wylie.
Wang, also known as Ricky, was found covered in concrete in a shallow grave dug in Taupō near the Desert Rd last year.
Before the grisly discovery was made, his family believed he had abandoned them and moved overseas in 2017.
