Trial set for September in Hong Kong model Abby Choi murder case
Trial will begin on September 21 and is expected to last 45 days at the High Court
Abby Choi Tin-fung’s ex-husband, his brother and father will stand trial for her alleged killing in September, three years after the death of the Hong Kong model.
In a closed-door hearing on Tuesday, Alex Kwong Kong-chi, his elder brother Anthony Kwong Kong-kit and their father Kwong Kau appeared before Deputy High Court Judge Brian Keith for the first time.
The pre-trial hearing was held for the judge to give directions to the parties.
According to the judiciary’s website, the trio did not have legal representation at Tuesday’s hearing. They will return to court for a second pre-trial hearing on February 27.
The trial is set to begin on September 21 and is expected to last 45 days at the High Court.
Choi’s death shocked the city in February 2023, when parts of her body were found in a flat inside a three-storey village house in Lung Mei Tsuen, Tai Po.
