Hong Kong – Police in Hong Kong have filed murder charges against a model’s in-laws, days after body parts were found in a freezer.
Hong Kong model Abby Choi’s father-in-law and his eldest son have been charged with murder, police said in a statement on Sunday, while her mother-in-law faces perverting the course of justice. Authorities also arrested the woman’s ex-husband on Saturday, but have not charged the 28-year-old.
The shocking case was revealed when police officers discovered the model’s body, dissected into pieces and stored in a freezer, in a rural village home in Tai Po, a suburban part of Hong Kong closer to the border with mainland China, on Friday.

“The police also found that the apartment was meticulously arranged by cold-blooded killers,” Police Superintendent Alan Chung said Saturday. “Tools used to dismember human corpses were found in the apartment, including meat grinders, chainsaws, long raincoats, gloves, and masks.”
The 28-year-old woman had financial disputes involving tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars with her ex-husband and his family, Chung said, adding that “some people” are unhappy with the way Choi handled her financial assets.
The victim had been missing for days when police discovered a woman’s severed legs in the refrigerator along with Choi’s ID card, credit cards and other items in the house. Chung said they also found human tissue in the soup pots. Police did not find the victim’s head, torso or hands at the scene.
Chung said the house where her remains were discovered had been rented by her ex-father-in-law only a few weeks earlier.
