Story summary

The High Court will hold its first trial hearing on Monday for Abby Choi’s former relatives — her ex-husband Alex Kwong, his father Kwong Kau, and elder brother Anthony Kwong — who face joint charges of murder. The case began more than three years after parts of Choi's dismembered body were found in a flat within a three-story village house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen in February 2023. Jury selection is expected to start later that week, followed by the prosecution delivering its opening speech. At age 28, Choi was a social media influencer who shared her glamorous life on Instagram and had recently attended Dior's Paris Fashion Week. The trio also face charges of preventing the lawful burial of Choi’s body; if convicted, they could receive life imprisonment.
