The gruesome killing of a wealthy model and socialite (2023)
Abby Choi Tin-fung, a 28-year-old model and fashion influencer, vanished without a trace on Tuesday.
A missing person’s inquiry turned into a murder investigation after police found parts of her body inside a refrigerator in a village house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen.
A meat grinder, an electric saw and two soup pots containing human tissue, along with two types of meat cleaver, a hammer, other tools and face shields, were also found in the flat.
The authorities had yet to find the victim’s head, torso and hands on Saturday after a major police search at a water catchment area and a nearby slope at Tseung Kwan O cemetery.
