Abby Choi's mother, Cheung Yin-fa, testified in court that she was not repeatedly in debt due to gambling, rejecting her former son-in-law's claim that he had financially supported her. Alex Kwong accused his father, Kwong Kau, and brother, Anthony Kwong, of murdering his ex-wife to keep a HK$72 million flat they owned. Cheung rejected the defense's suggestion that she was so addicted to mahjong that her mother's property was mortgaged to repay her debts.
She maintained she owed Kwong only HK$150,000 for shopping expenses and denied he had helped repay her debts. Cheung acknowledged that she occasionally gambled up to HK$100,000 for entertainment, but said she never ran up severe debts. The trial continues, with the family feud allegedly stemming from the proposed sale of the flat.
