Remains found in fridge and soup pot belong to Hong Kong model

Human remains found in a cooking pot and fridge in Hong Kong did belong to model Abby Choi (pictured left), it has been confirmed. DNA tests have revealed that the grim discovery at a house in the suburban area of Lung Mei Tsuen was of Ms Choi, an insider has told the South China Morning Post.

It comes as a seventh person has been arrested in connection with the murder, on suspicion of assisting an offender. The 29-year-old woman, from Hong Kong, was arrested in Shenzhen, mainland China on Tuesday, and was reportedly handed over to the police at a border control point. The suspect is accused of organizing a boat to help to help murder suspect Alex Kwong, to flee the city. Pictured: One of the suspects is seen being led by police officers to court late on Sunday.

Kwong, 28, who is Choi’s ex-husband, was charged along with his father Kwong Kau and his brother Anthony Kwong for Ms Choi’s murder. They were charged after police found her remains in a house rented by Kwong Kau in the suburban area of Hong Kong, which is near the border with China. Alex Kwong’s mother, Jenny Li, faces one count of perverting the course of justice. All four were detained without bail. They have not yet entered their pleas, and it does not appear that their lawyers have commented on the case to the media. The hearing was adjourned until May.

On Thursday, police also arrested a 41-year-old man on suspicion of aiding and abetting an offender, according to local media. Another woman who had been arrested for allegedly assisting other suspects in the case was released on bail pending further investigation, police said. She was believed to have been in an affair with the ex-husband’s father, the force said earlier. Ms Choi, 28, who had more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, disappeared on February 21, according to a report filed later with the Hong Kong Police.

Her last post was on February 19, featuring a photo shoot she had done with fashion magazine L’Officiel Monaco. Ms Choi had financial disputes involving tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars with her ex-husband and his family, police said, adding that ‘some people’ were unhappy with how Ms Choi handled her finances. And today it has emerged that the socialite’s mother has sought an injunction to bar her daughter’s former father-in-law from selling a HK$73 million (US$9.4 million) luxury flat Ms Choi allegedly bought under his name. Cheung Yin-fa filed a writ to the High Court to forbid Kwong Kau, 65, from selling the luxurious flat in the exclusive neighborhood of Kadoorie Hill in Ho Man Tin.

Ms Choi was a model and influencer who shared her glamorous life of photoshoots and fashion shows. She had just attended a Dior show at Paris Fashion Week when she went missing, and posted an image of herself dressed in a tulle floor-length gown. Ms Choi had been missing for several days when police found her remains at the house in Lung Mei Tsuen, a suburban part of Hong Kong about a 30-minute drive from the border with mainland China. Ms Choi’s friend Bernard Cheng earlier said he initially thought she had been kidnapped. Mr Cheng said Ms Choi had very good relationships with her family members and would travel with the families of her current and former husbands together. Ms Choi’s current father-in-law is a founder of one of the city’s famous noodle chains, local newspaper The Standard reported.

Her former partner was arrested on suspicion of murder after he was found on Tung Chung pier on Lantau Island. Superintendent Alan Chung said at the time that the murder was carried out by ‘cold-blooded killers.’ ‘Police also have found that the flat was arranged by cold-blooded killers meticulously,’ he said. The gruesome killing has transfixed many in Hong Kong, across the border in mainland China and around the world.
