Top model (28) cut into pieces shocks Hong Kong, in-laws arrested | Abroad

Abby Choi, 28, a mother of two young children, is with over 100,000 Instagram followers and photo shoots around the world, one of the most famous models from Hong Kong. Reuters news agency calls Choi an influential influencer. The model recently graced the cover of the fashion magazine ‘L’Officiel Monaco’. Last month, she posed for countless photographers at a prestigious fashion show in Paris. And earlier this year she shone in the same city during the renowned Paris Fashion Week.

It would be her last big job. To great surprise, her family announced on Wednesday that the woman had disappeared without a trace. There was immediate fear for her life. For example, Choi would have been attacked by strangers in her car and then taken to an unknown destination. The police immediately launched a massive search. To no avail: Choi was found dead two days later.

It was the police who made the gruesome discovery in a dilapidated apartment in Tai Po, a suburb of Hong Kong. The police suspect that the in-laws rented this house specifically with the intention of committing the murder there. For example, the walls were covered with canvas.

Choi’s body was found cut into several pieces. Human remains were found in, among other things, the refrigerator and a large soup pot. A meat cutter, an ax and a chainsaw believed to have been used by the killers were also found in the apartment. There were also gloves, masks and long raincoats. There would also have been found stew meat in which body parts had been processed.

The day after the horror discovery, police detained the woman’s ex-husband at a pier in Tung Chung, one of the city’s islands. According to the American channel CNN, he planned to flee the city by boat. According to the South China Morning Post, he was in possession of piles of cash and a number of luxury watches at the time.

A day earlier, the former father-in-law and brother of the victim were already arrested. Later, the ex-husband’s mother was also arrested on suspicion of obstructing justice. The woman was probably aware of the gruesome murder and tried to destroy evidence.

Abby Choi and her ex-husband had recently divorced and got into a fight over a huge amount of money. “We believe that the victim and her ex-in-laws had many conflicts over a large amount of money,” police chief Alan Chung told the French news agency AFP. It would be tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. “Someone was dissatisfied with how the victim handled money.”

The investigation into the gruesome murder is still ongoing. Not all body parts of the woman have been found yet. Police are still looking for the hands and torso of the victim. More than a hundred detectives and divers scour a local cemetery.

Police are not ruling out more arrests.
