Former Husband and in-Laws of Hong Kong Socialite Abby Choi Stand Trial in Her Killing
Prosecutors say the three former relatives also face burial-related charges as the case, which drew worldwide attention, could run until December.
- On Monday, Hong Kong's High Court opened murder trial hearings for socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung's former husband Alex Kwong Kong-chi, his brother Anthony Kwong Kong-kit, and their father Kwong Kau.
- The 28-year-old socialite went missing in February 2023, and police discovered her dismembered remains three days later in a Tai Po village house, shocking the wealthy financial hub.
- Under Hong Kong's common-law system, a jury will decide guilt on murder and preventing lawful burial charges in proceedings expected to last at least 45 days, unlike mainland China's system.
- Senior Counsel Charlotte Draycott heads the prosecution for the Department of Justice, while barristers Andrew Raffell, Oliver Davies, and Trevor Beel represent the defendants in the trial.
- Authorities arranged a live broadcast to accommodate high public interest, while prosecutors are expected to reveal details about a potential property dispute as the alleged motive for the crime.
