Mother of slain Hong Kong model Abby Choi seeks court injunction to stop murder suspect from selling HK$73 million luxury flat
- Cheung Yin-fa files writ at High Court to restrain model’s former father-in-law Kwong Kau from selling flat in exclusive neighbourhood
- Writ seeks to declare Abby Choi as beneficial owner of 1,820 sq ft home
On behalf of her deceased daughter, Cheung Yin-fa on Monday filed a writ at the High Court to restrain Kwong Kau, 65, one of three suspects accused of murdering Choi, from selling the HK$73 million flat in the exclusive Kadoorie Hill neighbourhood in Ho Man Tin.
The writ sought to declare Choi as the beneficial owner of the 1,820 sq ft flat.
“[Kwong] holds or held his legal title in the property on trust for [Choi] or is being estopped from denying [Choi’s] interest,” the writ said.
Cheung also sought to forbid Kwong from disposing of, transferring, charging, aliening or dealing with the flat without her prior consent or knowledge.
Former police officer Kwong and his two sons, one of them Choi’s ex-husband Alex Kwong Kong-chi, have been charged with the murder of the socialite. Choi was dismembered with some of her body parts found in a flat in a three-storey house in Tai Po’s Lung Mei Tsuen on February 21.
