On the same day that Hong Kong police detectives discovered the butchered remains of Abby Choi, February 24, 2023, they publicly accused her ex-husband, his father, and his older brother of having murdered the 28-year-old fashion influencer and mother of four. It was purported to be part of a twisted plot to gain control of her fortune, which included a $9.3 million apartment where some of them lived.

Choi was reported missing on the night of February 21, 2023, by her second husband, Chris Tam, and Choi’s mother, Cheung Yin-fa, several hours after she was last seen getting into a white Toyota minivan driven by her former brother-in-law, Anthony Kwong, who was working as her chauffeur. Parts of Choi’s body, including her skull and her ribs, were found three days later in a house in a remote village, cooked into a soup along with radishes and carrots. Her legs were stuffed inside a refrigerator.
