Two individuals have been convicted in one of Hong Kong’s most harrowing murder cases involving the brutal killing of model and influencer Abby Choi, 28. The pair were found guilty of helping Choi’s ex-husband, a prime suspect in her murder, attempt to flee the city by yacht.
Abby Choi was reported missing in February 2023. Days later, her dismembered body was discovered in a rented home in Tai Po, a rural area of Hong Kong. Authorities found the premises outfitted with a meat grinder, electric saw, and soup pots containing human remains. Additional body parts were located in a refrigerator, and raincoats believed to have been used during the killing were also recovered. Police determined Choi was murdered and dismembered at the scene.
Choi’s ex-husband, Alex Kwong Kong-chi, his father Kwong Kau, and brother Anthony Kwong were arrested and charged with her murder. Prosecutors say the killing stemmed from a bitter financial dispute, despite Choi continuing to financially support Kwong’s family after their divorce. Kwong’s 65-year-old mother, Jenny Li Sui-heung, has been charged with perverting the course of justice for allegedly misleading investigators.
Authorities say Alex Kwong attempted to escape Hong Kong by boat just one day after Choi’s remains were found, planning to reach Macau via a rented yacht. On June 17, yacht rental agent Lam Shun, 44, and Irene Pun Hau-yin, 31, were convicted in Kowloon City Court of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice for aiding Kwong’s escape plan.
Evidence presented in court showed both Lam and Pun were aware Kwong was evading police when they assisted in coordinating the yacht rental, though they reportedly did not know he was Choi’s ex-husband or a key suspect in the high-profile murder case.
The court concluded that the two acted with clear intent to obstruct justice. Both have been remanded into custody, with sentencing set for June 27.
The murder charges against Kwong and his family members remain pending in Hong Kong’s High Court. No trial date has been announced.
