According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on November 5 local time, Dr. Kwok Ka-ki, a forensic pathologist who testified in the murder trial, now in its sixth week at the High Court of Hong Kong, said that Abby Choi had suffered severe head trauma after being struck with a blunt object at the time of her death.


According to Dr. Kwok's autopsy report, Choi had a total of seven injuries to her head before she died. Dr. Kwok concluded that she may have died within 30 minutes from asphyxiation or brain damage caused by the severe trauma. He also added that a one-pound hammer seized at the scene matched the weapon used in the crime.


Prosecutors believe that her former husband, Alex Kwong Kong-chi (31), killed Choi with a blunt object on February 21, 2023, while driving her in a car. Some of the victim's remains were found at the crime scene, and Dr. Kwok added to the shock by saying that he had forensically identified remains found in a mortuary.


Choi's former husband, Alex Kwong, his father, Kwong Kau (68), and his older brother, Anthony Kwong Kong-kit (35), are currently on trial, charged with murder together. The two brothers previously pleaded guilty to preventing the lawful burial of a body, and their father, Kwong Hau, a former police officer, also admitted to the charge during the trial.



They were caught while trying to flee Hong Kong. Police concluded that the crime was motivated by money. They said that Choi's husband, who had no notable economic activity, and his in-laws ultimately made the horrifying choice to take her money after the divorce. Her family held a funeral with some of her remains reconstructed using 3D printing so that her remains could be presented intact.
