Abby Choi's ex-husband & family brought meat mincer & electric saw before murder, appeared to discuss plans at Starbucks: Prosecutor
The trial continues.
During the trial for the murder of Hong Kong socialite Abby Choi, prosecutors presented evidence suggesting that her ex-husband, Alex Kwong, along with his father and brother, had purchased items like a meat mincer and electric saw prior to the crime. The prosecution argued that these items were purchased with the intention of committing the murder.
Alex Kwong, his father, and brother all pleaded not guilty to the charges. Footage from a Starbucks location showed the two brothers making suspicious gestures before the murder. According to the prosecutor, Charlotte Draycott, the murder took place in a car that Alex Kwong borrowed. Anthony Kwong allegedly struck Choi multiple times in the head with a hammer that he had bought himself.
The car was driven to a rural property owned by Kwong Kau, Abby Choi's ex-father-in-law. A neighbor reportedly heard the sound of an electric saw being used on the day of the murder, which the prosecution claimed was part of the planned attack. Choi was on the phone with her mother-in-law discussing recent clothing purchases at the time of her death, around 2:44am.
The trial is expected to last about eight weeks, with prosecutors characterizing the murder as the result of a financial dispute.
