Hong Kong prosecutors are set to open the murder trial of three former relatives of slain socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung later this week, three years after her killing shocked the city and drew international attention.
The High Court will hold the first trial hearing on Monday for parties to sort out preliminary issues. Jury selection is expected to take place later in the week before the prosecution delivers its opening speech.
The 28-year-old influencer’s death came to light in February 2023, when parts of her dismembered body were discovered in a flat inside a three-storey village house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen.
Choi’s former husband, Alex Kwong Kong-chi, 31, his father Kwong Kau, 68, and elder brother Anthony Kwong Kong-kit, 35, will stand trial on a joint count of murder. The trio have also been charged with preventing the lawful burial of Choi’s body.
