On February 24, the remains of the model and influencers Abby Choi, 28, were found inside a refrigerator in a house on the outskirts of Hong Kong, two days after she was last seen.
The motive for the murder has not yet been confirmed, but, according to local media, the first elements of the investigation lean towards a sordid family history.
More specifically, that of her ex-husband, with whom she had a continuous financial conflict after her divorce over the management of her personal assets, which was around 12.7 million dollars. According to press reports, even after the divorce, Choi continued to help her in-laws.
Her ex-husband and relatives accused of the brutal murder
According to police reports, it would have been her ex-partner’s entire family who organized and carried out the brutal murder of Abby Choi in a rented and unfurnished apartment, where parts of her dismembered body were found.
During a press conference, Hong Kong Police Chief Alan Chung reported that Choi’s ex-husband was arrested on February 25 for the model’s murder. The man was trying to flee the city on a boat, in the company of his father, mother and his older brother, who were also arrested.
They must have been dissatisfied with the way the victim handled their valuables. That was the motive for the murder.
