Shocking footage has been played to a court showing the moment emergency services arrived at the scene moments after Davinder Singh was found stabbed to death.
The 35-year-old was sitting in his car with his wife, Amandeep Kaur, on the side of Norman Spencer Dr in south Auckland around 7:20pm on August 7 last year.
The court heard how he was stabbed more than a dozen times, and his throat was slit.
Kaur and her former lover, Gurjinder Singh, are on trial at the High Court in Auckland for Davinder Singh's murder.
The Crown alleges the pair, whose affair ended just weeks earlier when the victim found out, planned the killing so they could be together.
This morning on the third day of the trial, the court heard evidence from St John intensive care paramedic Catherine Timlin.
She was the first paramedic on the scene, arriving shortly after a member of the public called an ambulance.
At the time she was being followed by a television film crew for Rapid Response, who shot footage of the bloody scene.
The footage was played in court, and showed a member of the public blocking the driver's door, where the victim was sitting.
Ms Timlin can be heard telling him to move aside so she can get to Davinder Singh.
"I got out of the car, went to the back to put on gloves, and as I approached the car I was asking, trying to find out what happened," Ms Timlin said this morning.
"I couldn't get a good view of the patient because there was a person standing leaning into the car and I could not get that person to move."
She said Davinder Singh showed no signs of life.
"There was a large amount of blood pooled in the footwell of the driver's seat, which was unexpected initially."
Kaur cried when the footage was played to the court, while her co-accused sat expressionless in the same dock.
In the footage, Kaur could be heard saying someone had demanded money from her husband, before attacking him and taking his phone.
"She was upset, asking me to help her husband," Ms Timlin said.
Kaur had been holding a piece of clothing to Davinder Singh's throat to try and stop the bleeding, but pulled it away to show Ms Timlin the wound.
"Once the wound had been exposed I asked her to cover it up and she kept trying to expose it again," Ms Timlin told the court.
"She had very fine spray [of blood] on her face, her hands were covered in blood and on her clothing as well."
Ms Timlin recalled how Kaur begged her for help, saying "Help me sister, help me sister, is he going to be alright?
"Help him, he's not dead is he?"
Emergency medic technician Stacey Mostyn also gave evidence this morning, saying how Kaur was "covered head to toe in blood".
Police and Ms Mostyn helped Kaur out of the vehicle, and sat her on the grass beside the road before taking her to an ambulance. She was examined for injuries.
"She had a laceration on her right middle finger...and some scratching around her neck," recalled Ms Mostyn.
The trial is being interpreted into Punjabi for the two defendants, and is set down for four weeks.
