Abby Choi, a 28-year-old Hong Kong socialite, could have endured seven hammer strikes to the head before her fatal demise, a court has revealed. Forensic pathologist Dr Kwok Ka-ki testified in the High Court on Thursday, detailing the grisly evidence of her murder. Choi's body, dismembered and found in a rural village flat three days after her disappearance on February 21, 2023, bore signs of severe brain damage and extensive bleeding.
The prosecution claims Alex Kwong, Choi's ex-husband, struck her head with a hammer during a car ride she believed was a school drop-off. Choi's ex-husband, his father Kwong Kau, and her brother Anthony are jointly charged with murder. Kwok testified that Choi's head showed multiple injuries, including a 15cm laceration and a 5.5cm-by-5cm depressed fracture, which could have caused suffocation within minutes. Despite the injuries, Choi would have died within half an hour due to the severe brain damage.
