As CNN says, Hong Kong police have arrested five people in connection with Abby Choi’s murder: her ex-husband Alex Kwong, his brother Anthony, their father Kwong Kau, mother Jenny Li, and an unnamed woman. USA Today says that the house containing Choi’s remains, the refrigerator, the electric saw, and so forth was rented by Kwong Kau. Per CNN, Alex, Anthony, and Kwong Kau have been charged with the murder itself, and Jenny Li with “perverting the course of justice.” The final and fifth suspect’s connection to the case remains unknown. The four main suspects have been denied bail and as of the time of this writing have not yet entered a plea.
USA Today speculates on the question asked by Choi’s friend Moka Fang: “Why?” By all accounts, Alex Kwong, Choi’s ex-husband, had been embroiled in a disagreement with her regarding her finances. GHBase puts the dispute at HK $12 million and Choi’s net worth at about HK $100 million. Hong Kong police, as USA Today states, said vaguely that “some people” didn’t like Choi’s management of her money.

CNN says that certain parts of Choi’s body have yet to be recovered, including her hands and torso. Besides Choi’s skull and soft tissue, the aforementioned pots also contained ribs and hair, which could aid police further in their search for justice.
