Hong Kong trial hears ex-husband accused of planning model’s killing
Prosecutors told a Hong Kong court that influencer Abby Choi’s ex-husband and two members of his family planned her killing and tried to conceal her remains. The three men deny murder, and the allegations are being tested at trial.
The prosecution said equipment, including a mincing machine, was bought shortly before Choi disappeared in February 2023. Her legs were found in a refrigerator, and her skull and ribs in a soup pot; prosecutors said carrots and radishes were added to mask the smell. They allege a dispute over a luxury flat, for which Choi had paid HK$60 million, was a motive. The trial is expected to continue until at least December.
