Four members of the same family who have been charged in connection with the gruesome murder of Hong Kong model Abby Choi appeared in court on Monday. This followed news that police had uncovered what they believe to be bits of her dismembered body.
Alex Kwong, 28, his brother Anthony, 31, and their father, Kwong Kau, 65, are accused of murdering Choi. Alex Kwong’s mother, Jenny Li, has been accused of tampering with the court system.

The Kowloon City Magistrates’ Court reportedly denied bail to each of the four suspects on Monday, according to RTHK. They still haven’t filed a plea.
On Sunday, it was discovered that Choi’s probable remains, including a head, multiple ribs, and hair, were inside a sizable stainless steel soup pot. Choi’s hands and torso are among the last unaccounted-for body parts.
That follows a police investigation that began on Wednesday, when Choi, age 28, vanished. Parts of her body were discovered two days later at a home in the Tai Po neighborhood of the city, according to the police. An electric saw, a meat slicer, and some clothing were also present in the dwelling.
According to the police, Choi’s ex-husband was apprehended on Saturday at a ferry pier on one of the outer islands of the city. His parents and siblings were taken into custody on Friday.
Also, just months after a luxury home was purchased under his name in 2019, the Post has discovered that the ex-father-in-law of murdered Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung was registered as the owner of a government-subsidized flat worth more than HK$2 million (US$254,780).
Parts of the former model’s body were discovered in a ground-floor apartment of a three-story house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen on February 21. Kwong Kau, 65, and his two sons, one of whom is Alex Kwong Kong-chi, were charged with the murder.
Jenny Li Sui-heung, 63, the wife of Kwong Kau, is accused of perverting the course of justice after it was discovered that she allegedly destroyed evidence on February 23 while a police investigation was underway.
