Overview

Case overview

Hong Kong model and socialite Abby Choi was reported missing on 21 February 2023 after she failed to collect her daughter. Investigators traced her final known movements to a village property in Tai Po, where police later recovered human remains. [1]

Police arrested several suspects, including members of Choi’s former husband’s family, and brought charges in connection with the killing. Because court proceedings determine criminal responsibility, this record distinguishes allegations and charges from findings of guilt. [2]
