The former in-laws of a model whose legs were discovered in a refrigerator have been charged with her homicide.
According to Hong Kong police, Abby Choi’s ex-father-in-law and his eldest son are accused of murdering the 28-year-old model, while her ex-mother-in-law is charged with perverting the course of justice.
Superintendent Alan Chung stated that Ms. Choi’s ex-husband has also been arrested and is anticipated to be charged with murder on Sunday.
Officers discovered a portion of her body, along with her identification card, credit cards, and other items, on Friday.
Her corpse was dissected and kept in a refrigerator in a Tai Po village home near the Chinese mainland.
Mr. Chung reported in an update on Sunday that the cranium of a young woman, believed to be that of Ms. Choi, had been discovered in one of the confiscated cooking pots.
“There’s a hole in the victim’s cranium on the right side of the back. So the pathologist believes that was the fatal blow,” the officer said.
The police discovered a meat slicer and an electric saw at the crime scene. Along with several vertebrae, hair, and human tissue.
Forensic pathologists discovered a limited number of human bones in another cooking pot, Mr. Chung added.
They are still searching for her limbs and torso.
The term “ecosystem” refers to a group of people who work in the construction industry.
The precise time of death is unknown.
Mr. Chung stated that authorities believe Ms. Choi had financial disputes involving tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, with one million Hong Kong dollars equating to approximately £107,000.
The police superintendent stated that Ms. Choi’s ex-husband, his family, and “some individuals” were believed to be dissatisfied with how she managed her financial assets.
Ms. Choi revealed her glamorous life of photo shoots and fashion shows with over 100,000 social media followers.
Her last post was a week ago and featured a portrait she did for L’Officiel Monaco, a fashion magazine.
A woman whom police believe to be her father-in-mistress law’s was also detained for allegedly assisting the other suspects.
