A glam model was brutally murdered and chopped up by her in-laws after she tried to sell the £5.75million luxury pad she bought them, a court has heard. Influencer Abby Choi, 28, who regularly rubbed shoulders with the fashion elite in Paris, is said to have funded the extravagant lifestyle of her ex-husband’s family despite the couple divorcing.
Her ex Alex Kwong, 31, along with his retired police officer dad Kwong Kau, 68, and brother Anthony, 35, are currently on trial in Hong Kong accused of her murder.
Police discovered the remains of the mum-of-four at a suburban flat in February 2023. Her legs were reportedly stashed inside a fridge, while her skull and ribs were found in a massive pot of vegetable soup on the stove.

The court heard how relations broke down when Abby tried to sell the multi-million pound home she had purchased in her former father-in-law’s name to duck stamp duty. She planned to relocate them near her children’s school, triggering terrifying death threats.
Abby’s heartbroken mum, Cheung Yin-fa, told the High Court her daughter branded her ex-in-law an “old crook”, “scum” and a “stinking b******”, while deeming her former mother-in-law “ungrateful”.
She added that the freeloading family had “not even bought a can of baby milk for their grandchildren” or treated them to lunch.

Speaking in court, her emotional mum said: “My daughter was truly good, so filial and well-behaved. She trusted the wrong people. This family repaid kindness with enmity.”
Prosecutors said the accused went on a shopping spree for gruesome tools, including a meat mincer, just days before the socialite vanished.
Abby disappeared on February 21, 2023, after getting into a car driven by her ex-brother-in-law, who she had hired as her personal chauffeur. Her ex-husband was allegedly waiting in the back seat armed with a hammer.

Neighbours later reported hearing the horrific whir of an electric chainsaw coming from the ground-floor property, followed by a foul smell.
Prosecutors say the grim racket and stench were linked to the family’s sick attempt to dismember and destroy her body.
The trial heard Abby had two kids with her ex-husband after meeting him at school, before having two more with restaurateur partner Chris Tam Fong-chun.
Despite moving on, she continued to bankroll her ex-husband’s family, even purchasing them another property and luxury gifts.
Alex and Anthony Kwong have admitted preventing the lawful burial of a body, but all three men deny murder. The trial continues.
