HONG KONG – Hong Kong police said on Sunday they had charged three people in connection with the murder of 28-year-old model Abby Choi, whose legs were found in a refrigerator in a house on the city’s outskirts.
Police were looking for other parts of Choi’s body, after the discovery on Friday. They also found a meat slicer and an electric saw at the scene in the rural Tai Po district, according to a police statement.
Local media, including broadcaster TVB and the South China Morning Post reported on Sunday evening, citing police sources, that Choi’s head was discovered in a soup pot in the village house where she was found.
The gruesome murder of local influencer Choi, who recently appeared on the digital cover of L’Officiel Monaco fashion magazine, has gripped local tabloids.
Police statements said that four people have been arrested and three charged in the case, but did not identify them by name. Those charged are set to appear in a local court on Monday.
Local broadcaster TVB, citing police, said Choi’s ex-husband Alex Kwong was arrested on Saturday but had not yet been charged, while her former father-in-law and his brother had been charged with murder. Choi’s former mother-in-law was also arrested and charged with obstructing the case, it said.
Choi disappeared on Tuesday and was last seen in the Tai Po district, where she was found, police said.
