The Suzetta Pl property where Elizabeth Zhong was stabbed to death and stuffed in her car is no longer behind police tape nearly three weeks after her death.
Slain Auckland businesswoman Elizabeth (Ying) Zhong was under surveillance by debt collectors and a mystery man in a gold Toyota before she was stabbed to death and hidden in her car,
Stuff understands. Police are yet to make an arrest nearly three weeks since the embattled entrepreneur was murdered – and investigators continue to say little publicly about the progress of their enquiries. Meanwhile, more new information has emerged on the desperate final months of Zhong, 55, as her wine and film-making businesses and personal finances crumbled under debts totalling well over $10 million.

An Auckland businesswoman who was found dead in the boot of her car has been successfully bankrupted by creditors.
Elizabeth Zhong, also known as Ying Zhong, has been bankrupted just over a fortnight after police officers discovered her body while initially working on a missing person s case.
Two creditors - Fang Sun and residential property investment company General Growth Group Ltd - pursued a bankruptcy against the homicide victim, according to Stuff.
Two creditors pursued a bankruptcy process against Zhong personally: A residential property investment company called General Growth Group Ltd and Fang Sun, a significant business associate of Zhong s. The main creditor pursuing the bankruptcy proceedings over $2m of debt was General Growth Group, while Sun was a supporting creditor who had joined the action.
