Naiyin Xue, the New Zealander who made the most wanted list in the United States, made a brief appearance in Auckland District Court on Wednesday, charged with the murder of his wife, New Zealand media reported.
Xue, 53, entered no plea and made no application for bail. He will be held in custody again until a pre-depositions hearing at the end of next month .
Xue became the center of an international manhunt after his three-year-old daughter Qianxun Xue was found alone at a Melbourne railway station on Sept. 15 last year.
Four days later the body of his wife Anan Liu was found inside the boot of a car outside their home in the Auckland suburb.
Police believed she was killed between Sept. 11 and Sept. 13. Xue fled to Los Angeles and was on the run until Feb. 28 when he was captured in Chamblee, a town on the northeast outskirts of Atlanta, by six Chinese who recognized him from a newspaper.
