DEAR ABBY: Partner’s frequent family visitors strain relationship
An advice-seeker's feelings don't seem to matter.
Abby Choi Tin-fung's mother, Cheung Yin-fa, has testified in court that her former in-laws, Alex Kwong and his family, lived off her family's wealth without contributing anything to her grandchildren. The three individuals, including Kwong and his father and brother, are currently on trial for murder in connection with the influencer's death in February 2023.
Kwong's father is a retired police sergeant who denied obstructing the lawful burial of Choi's body between February 21 and 23. The mother claimed that the Kwongs never treated her family to a meal or bought baby milk formula for Choi's children. She also revealed that Alex Kwong was adept at convincing others to do him favors. Prior to Choi's divorce, Kwong had successfully convinced her to lend him her credit card to cover his expenses while he was evading justice in a HK$6.3 million theft case.
The dispute allegedly stemmed from a family feud over the sale of a HK$72 million flat in Ho Man Tin, with Kwong Kau reportedly resenting Abby for attempting to sell the property. He enlisted his sons to help kill the influencer so that he could retain ownership. Prosecutors have suggested that money may be the motive for the crime, focusing on the significant wealth disparity between the families. The trial is ongoing before Deputy Judge Brian Keith and a nine-member jury.
