The murder trial of Hong Kong socialite and influencer Abby Choi has progressed in the High Court, with prosecutors presenting evidence of a premeditated attack. The prosecution contends that Choi was killed in February 2023 due to a financial dispute regarding a luxury apartment, which had been registered under the name of her former father-in-law, Kwong Kau, to minimize tax liabilities. During proceedings, evidence was introduced suggesting the defendants—ex-husband Alex Kwong, his brother Anthony Kwong, and Kwong Kau—prepared for the crime in advance. This preparation allegedly included renting a village house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei village and purchasing specific items, including an electric saw, a meat mincer, a hammer, and large storage containers. Prosecutors allege that Choi was struck with a hammer inside a vehicle before being transported to the rented property. While all three defendants have pleaded not guilty to murder, Alex Kwong and Anthony Kwong have pleaded guilty to the charge of preventing a lawful burial, while Kwong Kau has denied that charge.
