Ex-husband, in-laws accused of murdering Hong Kong model Abby Choi appear in court

Ex-husband Alex Kwong, his father Kwong Kau and brother Anthony Kwong appeared in court on Wednesday, charged with murdering Hong Kong model Abby Choi. The tragic incident occurred in 2023, after Choi, a popular influencer with over 140,000 Instagram followers, was discovered with parts of her dismembered body at a suburban house.

Choi, who had two children with Kwong, divorced him before marrying Tam, with whom she had two more children. The trio faces life in prison if convicted, with Anthony and Alex Kwong pleading guilty to preventing the lawful burial of a body. Prosecutors allege that the dispute over a luxury property Choi had purchased for the family, costing HK$60 million ($7.65 million), led to Choi's death.

Kwong Kau, a retired police sergeant, allegedly became resentful over Choi's attempt to sell the flat, prompting him and his sons to plot her murder.
